Explanation:

"Anticipation" means looking forward to something. The phrase "looked forward to" in the text has a similar meaning. It shows Ben's eagerness for meeting his cousins, which helps explain "anticipation". The other phrases "every year" (temporal regularity), "just a few minutes" (time duration), and "could tell" (perception ability) do not relate to the meaning of expecting or looking forward.

Answer:

looked forward to
