Sam and Chris are engaging in small talk, and looking for things they might have in common, a quest for similarities facilitated by social media. They are at which stage of a relationship? Group of answer choices

Experimenting.

Explanation:

Relational Model was the model developed by Mark L. Knapp. Knapp's model of relationship helps to analyze the relational development, how relations are built, on what basis they last, and how they tend to end.

The model is divided into two phases: Escalation Model and Termination Model, each phase is subdivided into five stages.

According to Knapp's model of escalation, Sam and Chris are at the second stage i.e. experimenting.

Experimenting is the stage at which the couples start to know each other. It is also known as the probing stage as they try to know each other by asking certain questions, for example, 'What you like to do in your leisure time?'

In the given case, Sam and Chris are engaging in the experimenting stage of the relational model as they are trying to know each other and to know what they have in common.

So, the correct answer is experimenting.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
