What happens during the emergence stage in community development?

  1. Initial formation and gathering of the community

  2. Agreement on a course of action among members

  3. Disbanding of the community

  4. Official recognition by external bodies

The correct answer is: Agreement on a course of action among members

During the emergence stage in community development, members come together and discuss and negotiate a course of action. This involves more than just initial formation and gathering, as it also involves making decisions and setting goals for the community. Disbanding and official recognition both occur at different stages in the community development process and are not specific to the emergence stage.
