Hi Heidi,
This is a bit clever and also an interesting example for all.
You're is "you are" and not "you were". Therefore Late and early are the appropriate answers.
You are expected to arrive a bit early.
You were expected to arrive a bit earlier.
You're expected to arrive a bit early.
Same applies with late.
I hope this helps,
Stephen

They are all correct, depending on the context. "Arrive early/late" is useful when discussing a journey, it implies that you will arrive earlier or later than the planned/required time.
"Arrive earlier/later" is only useful if you have already mentioned some reference time which you will arrive before or after. For example: "I will arrive at 10, on the express train. You will arrive later." The second sentence could be expanded to "You will arrive later than that" (or similar).
