Answer 1

1. the desire to meet a professors expectations

3. the desire to look good to someone else

Step-by-step explanation:

External motivators refers to the source of motivation that does not come from within yourself. This include things such as rewards given by others, praises , acknowledgement by others, threats given by others, etc.

Let's examine option 1 and 3 :

'1. the desire to meet a professors expectations'

'3. the desire to look good to someone else'

Both sources of motivation exist because you are seeking acknowledgement from other person beside yourself.

in option 2 on the other hand:

'2. the desire to study so that youll do well in a course'

The desires come from within yourself. You want to improve yourself rather than trying to impress and accepted by others.
