Sir,

1.But still, a terrible shock was in store for the children.

What is meaning of "shock was in store ".

Thanks.
  

Top answer

The children were about to receive a terrible shock. They were [about to be / soon going to be] shocked (by something said or done). When someone doesn't know what is in store for him, it means that he doesn't know that something unpleasant is going to happen to him.
