The principal, Mr. Belton, spoke over the crackling loudspeaker, welcoming the students to a new year, new experiences, and new friendships. In English, they reviewed the parts of speech. Mr. Lucas, a portly man, waddled down the aisle, asking, "What is a noun?" The teacher wet his lips and asked something else in French. The room grew silent. Victor felt all eyes staring at him.

Explanation:

In literature, "internal" refers to anything that happens "inside" the characters' minds. It is related to expectations, conflicts, wishes, feelings, thoughts. Option A is the only option talking of something happening internally. When it says, "he promised himself," it means the character did not externalize the thought, that is, he did not tell anyone else. He kept it to himself, at least at this point. Therefore, option A is an example of internal expectation.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
