Answer 2

In the given sentence, the meaning of "face" is option 3) "surface of something."

In this context, "in the face of" is an idiomatic expression that means "in the presence of" or "when confronted with." It suggests that the person mentioned in the sentence was maintaining a matter-of-fact attitude or demeanor despite the presence or existence of excitement around them.

Here, "face" is not referring to a physical face or the front part of something, nor does it imply a facade or a specific look or expression. It is used metaphorically to indicate the surface or aspect of a situation or condition that someone is encountering.
