The audience listened to the boring speech with _____ expressions on their faces.
A) bovine
B) blasé

Dear Teacher,
The book gives the answer as A (bovine) in its Answer Key section, and the explanations of both words are given (page 56) as:
bovine: adj. cowlike
blasé: adj. bored because of frequent indulgence; unconcerned
Although there's a third meaning to the word "bovine" as "stolid, dull" provided by Bovine | Define Bovine at Dictionary.com , the book does not refer to it.
Is this answer (bovine) of the book right?
Thanks and regards.
