Answer

thank you so much! it was so helpful.

Answer

The first option — he likes honesty in people he knows — is more correct.  But here, “expects” means more than just “likes.”  It means that he demands/insists/requires that people he knows behave honestly; if they behave dishonestly, he may stop being friends with them or may criticize them.
