Which of the following is a synonym for 'entretener'?

  1. To engage

  2. To occupy

  3. To entertain

  4. To distract

The correct answer is: To entertain

The correct answer, which is "to entertain," aligns perfectly with the meaning of the Spanish verb "entretener." This verb is commonly used in contexts where someone is providing amusement or enjoyment to others, making them the focus of leisure activities. In Spanish, "entretener" conveys the idea of keeping someone engaged in an enjoyable way, which is exactly what the English term "to entertain" captures. Other options, while related, do not fully express the same concept. "To engage" suggests a level of involvement or participation that may not necessarily involve enjoyment. "To occupy" indicates filling time or space but lacks the connotation of amusement or enjoyment. "To distract" implies diverting attention, which may not provide the intended pleasure or fun associated with "entretener."
