entice

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. beguile.

"Beguile" is a synonym for "entice" because both involve attracting or charming someone, often with a sense of allure or temptation.

"Entice" means to attract or persuade someone to do something, typically through appealing or appealing means. Similarly, "beguile" means to charm or enchant someone, often in a way that is misleading or deceptive.

In contrast, "dissuade" means to persuade someone not to do something, "repulse" means to drive away or repel, and "entreat" means to earnestly request or beg, which do not convey the same sense of attraction or allure.
