Maybe scream? bc she was surprised
It is an example of a Simile.
It compares one thing to another using "as", which is what a simile does.
Internal motivation is B) , inner directed , if it is internal this means that it is coming from the inside.
My reason for this is because , When you are studying for something you are thinking to yourself , so this is you thinking internally so this statement is internal.
i hope this helps.
