Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stages of group development include forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. During the forming stage, group members are still getting to know each other and may not be fully committed to the group's goals. It is not until the performing stage that the group is fully functional and working towards its goals. Therefore, it is likely that little work towards the senate's goals started until well after the third month because the group was still in the forming or storming stage during that time.
