The pairs casual/dispassionate and curious/interested fit in the sentence, but the correct options agree with the context of the sentence because the fact that a watch increases in mass when wound would not be necessarily surprising to someone who was thinking (i.e. curious and interested) about the issue. Heedless is similar in meaning to casual and dispassionate but has a negative sense not entailed in the correct options. Similarly, concerned is similar to curious and interested.
