EnglishIdioms and Phrases
- AFeeling anxious
- BFeeling happy
- CStammering
- DFeeling exposed
Explanation
'To get the jitters' means to feel nervous or anxious — the jitters are the small involuntary movements or uneasy feelings caused by nervousness. It has nothing to do with happiness (A) or with stammering (B), and 'getting exposed to danger' (D) is a different idea entirely. Hence (A) Feeling anxious is correct.
