Answer 1

The statement that describes the stage of discomfort is "At first, it was just kind of awkward— I could sense something was wrong between Diana and me".

Explanation:

• It can be intelligently devised that the conflict between Diana and Tony arose out of the discomfort that they had begun experiencing.
• The stage of discomfort was the earliest stage and can be regarded as the beginning of the conflict.
• The discomfort between Diana and Tony culminated in their fights which later got others involved in it.
