Correct Answer: how can we
Solution : The first option is correct.
- Let's look at some conjunctions that contain the inverted form of the verb , apart from the interrogative sentences:
- No sooner...than, hardly/scarcely…when, etc .
- Since the given sentence is assertive and doesn't contain any of the above-mentioned conjunctions , the use of the inverted form of the verb is wrong in the sentence .
- Hence, how we can will be used instead of how can we in the third part of the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is: "We must plan how we can cope with the present situation."
