drop-down options: surprised, upset, excited

Explanation:

Christopher initially wanted the bell to ring before Mr. W spoke, showing he was anxious about the announcement. But when he learned Mr. W was announcing well wishes for his Boy Band America call, his reaction (and the sparkly sunglasses) shows he is positive and eager. The option "excited" matches this positive, eager feeling about the announcement related to his hoped-for opportunity with Boy Band America.

Answer:

excited
