She expects rejection, but he welcomes her admiration in a vain way. c. She expects friendliness, but he turns out to be needy and clinging. d. She expects shyness, but he turns out to be talkative and outgoing

a. She expects snobbery, but he turns out to be shy and open to friendship.

Explanation:

Before meeting Eugene, Elena had imagined a situation entirely different from what actually happened. She had drawn hasty conclusions from Eugene and believed he was thick, snobbish, mean, arrogant and a very difficult person to maintain a balanced and profitable conversation. However, when meeting him for the first time, she can see how much she was wrong, because Eugene was a shy, pleasant, calm boy and very easy to have a conversation because he was willing to make a new friendship.
