read the sentence. to calm down the crying triplets, the babysitter amused them with her lively stories. now, revise the sentence to show that the triplets were delighted as if by magic. to calm down the crying triplets, the babysitter ______ them with her lively stories. enchanted entertained engaged distracted

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of each option:

• "enchanted" means to delight or fascinate as if by magic, which matches the requirement of showing the triplets were delighted as if by magic.
• "entertained" means to amuse or provide enjoyment, but not necessarily with a magical connotation.
• "engaged" means to occupy or involve, which doesn't convey the magical delight.
• "distracted" means to divert attention, which is not related to delighting as if by magic.
