Explanation:

1. For the option “(but that might be her heart, affected, they said, by influenza) …”: This is a thought Clarissa has about her heart, directly showing her internal perception.
2. For the option “Such fools we are, she thought, crossing Victoria Street.”: The phrase “she thought” indicates this is her internal thought, directly conveying her perception.

Other options like descriptions of actions or settings don't directly show her thoughts/perceptions as these two do.

Answer:

(but that might be her heart, affected, they said, by influenza) …, Such fools we are, she thought, crossing Victoria Street.
