I'd go with "attract". But "bait" is a close second. I'm assuming they mean a synonym for "lure" in this context.

Here's a recent favorite....
They tried many things to lure customers.
What is a synonym for lure?
a. bait
b. trick
c. attract
d. comfort I'd have to go with a. "bait"

I assume they mean attract, since you don't really bait customers or trick them (well, not unless you can get away with it...). But it's just a gosh-darn bad question!

That answer might have geographic or cultural preferences.

Good point.
And I just thought, if he used food to get the customers in the door, bait would really be a better choice!

Ok, Kriston, you're just dying to tell your dirty joke, aren't you? You can pm me but I'll bet everyone wants to hear it but are afraid to admit it.
