Answer

Entertainment is something that provides something fun or interesting to do = for example, theatres are a form of entertainment, films or outdoor activities and music could also all be forms of entertainment.

Amusement is something that makes you laugh or smile = for example, you might find watching a comedy amusing.

A pastime is something you find interesting to do, usually a hobby, so this could be anything from playing football to reading books (anything that you enjoy doing in your spare time)

A diversion is something that serves as a distraction from something else. For example: "The loud music outside was a welcome diversion from her college work."

I hope that helps :)
