1. C. “i *expect* him to arrive in time for dinner.”

2. A. “i sat near the entrance for a long time *expecting* him, but he didn’t arrive.”
(this could also say “i sat near the entrance for a long time *waiting for* him, but he didn’t arrive.”)

3. A. “he hoped the appointment would enable him to gain greater *experience* in publishing”
none of the answers are inherently wrong, but A makes the most sense.

4. C. “the information-office at the station *explained* that all trains were running about one hour behind time.”
this one was a little more tricky because the information-office also could have advertised (A) this information as well; but likely, they explained it.

hope this helps!
