C) Entertain—to provide entertainment for; divert

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the context of the above sentence, the best synonym for the word 'amuse' would be 'entertain—to provide entertainment for; divert'.

The sentence talks about amusing a group of people, an audience, therefore the speaker is possibly an entertainer.

As an entertainer, it would only make sense that the speaker's intent is to entertain the people and divert their minds to something funny or laughter when they are having a dreary week.
