Correct Answer:
C. Lure
To choose the synonym of ENTICE, we need to understand its meaning. 'Entice' means to attract or tempt someone by offering pleasure or advantage.
- C. Lure: This is the correct synonym. 'Lure' means to tempt (a person or an animal) to do something or to go somewhere, especially by offering some form of reward or attraction. Both words convey the idea of drawing someone in through temptation.
- A. Alert: To 'alert' means to warn someone of a danger, problem, or other important information. This is the opposite of enticing.
- B. Caution: To 'caution' means to warn or advise someone against something. This is also contrary to the meaning of entice.
- D. None of these: This is incorrect because 'Lure' is a direct synonym.
