English question from Panchayat Secretary (VLW) exam, 2025 by JKSSB

Complete the dialogue choosing the correct option.
Wife: I am really thrilled about our trip to South India.
I have heard it has some wonderful beaches. I don't________ standing before the vast sea. know
Husband: Yes, it is a wonderful experience to see the vast waves rising and striking thebeach.

Last updated May 30, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — how I shall feel
Why this is correct:
The context of the dialogue is about anticipation and emotions regarding a future experience.

Meaning: The wife is expressing her excitement and states, "I don't know how I shall feel standing before the vast sea." This perfectly matches the husband's response, where he validates that emotion by describing what a "wonderful experience" it is.

Grammar: The phrase "I don't know..." introduces a noun clause. In standard English, a noun clause embedded inside a statement must use assertive word order (subject + verb), not interrogative word order (verb + subject).

Correct structure: "...how I [subject] shall feel [verb]..."

Why the other options are incorrect:
(A) what to do: This implies confusion about an action or a task, which doesn't fit the context of marveling at a beautiful natural sight.

(C) when I will: This is grammatically incomplete and leaves the sentence hanging without a main verb.

(D) what will I do: This incorrectly uses interrogative word order (will I do instead of I will do) inside a dependent clause.
