Answer 1

Answer: (C)

diversion

'Recreation' refers to any activity that amuses, diverts or stimulates the mind. 'Recreation' is that which renews and revitalizes us.

Option C is the correct answer because 'diversion' refers to an activity that diverts the mind from tedious or serious concerns; a recreation or pastime.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because 'entertainment' means the action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment, it is that which holds interest and attention, 'amusement' refers to the state or experience of finding something funny or entertaining and 'pleasure' means a feeling of happy satisfaction and enjoyment.
