Read this excerpt from Little Women. "She blushed with pleasure, but somehow the compliment did not satisfy her like the blunt praises he used to give her at home, when he promenaded round her on festival occasions and told her she was 'altogether jolly', with a hearty smile and an approving pat on the head. She didn't like the new tone, for though not blase, it sounded indifferent in spite of the look."

Which of the following sentences uses a word similar to the word indifferent in the excerpt? If she hadn't felt such disdain for his terrible jokes, she wouldn't have left the meeting as early as she did. She was disgusted by his arrogance. He was so enthralled with her he asked her to meet him for coffee the very next day. She expressed no interest in him even though her colleagues indicated a high regard for his accomplishments.
