“Hello”, said a quiet, musical voice.
I looked up, stunned that he was speaking to me. He was sitting as far away from me as the desk allowed, but his chair was angled toward me. His hair was dripping wet – he looked like someone in a commercial for hair gel. His dazzling face was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were careful.
“My name is Edward Cullen,” he continued. “I didn’t have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan.”
My mind was spinning with confusion. He was perfectly polite now. I had to speak; he was waiting. But I couldn’t think of anything conventional to say.
“H-how do you know my name?” I stammered.
He laughed a soft laugh.
“Oh, I think everyone knows your name. The whole town was waiting for you to arrive.”

According to the sentence “I looked up, stunned that he was speaking to me.”, Bella
didn’t expect Edward to approach her.
was feeling comfortable.
didn’t want to be friends with Edward.
didn’t want to talk to Edward.
was offended by Edward’s attitude.
Gabarito:
didn’t expect Edward to approach her.
a) CORRETA, pois Bella diz "stunned that he was speaking to me", indicando que ela não esperava que Edward viesse conversar com ela.
b) INCORRETA, visto que ao dizer que sua mente estava "spinning with confusion" Bella deixa claro que não estava tão confortável assim em falar com ele.
c) INCORRETA, dado que no texto não é abordada a questão da amizade entre os dois, o que podemos entender que é Edward não tinha sido educado com ela antes, por isso ela ficou surpresa que ele estava falando com ela normalmente agora.
d) INCORRETA, considerando que o texto diz que Bella "had to speak to him", sendo o uso do verbo "have" aqui um indicativo que ela tinha realmente que falar com ele.
e) INCORRETA, uma vez que não é possível afirmar que ela ficou de fato ofendida, o que podemos entender é que ela estava confusa e ao mesmo tempo surpresa que ele estava sendo educado agora, e que não tinha entendido o motivo de ele não tê-lo sido antes.
