Hello!
What is the difference between pastime vs diversion?
"As I sat sipping a cup of tea at my sister Doris’ house, my husband, Brian, (23) _CAUGHT___ my eye and flashed me a wide smile. Brian’s eyes had lit up when he saw Michael, our nephew, playing with a pile of craft matchsticks, attempting to make a house.
“How about a (24) __CHALLENGE______?” he said to Michael. “You make a house and I’ll make a little boat”. In a couple of hours the pair had cut, crafted and glued the matchsticks together and the task was complete. “I’m going to call the boat Hazel,” Brian said proudly. That was when his (25) __entertainment / amusement / pastime / diversion______ really started.
We found a hobby shop that sold modelling matchsticks, and we soon became their best customers. “I’m going to get bags of them,” Brian said. “I’ll start a new project when I get home.” He got to work on a larger boat, swiftly followed by an (26) __EXACT____ copy of a Second World War torpedo boat.

Entertainment= this could be a movie, game or anything that you would be happy to watch or do.
Amusement= something that makes you laugh or smile.
Pastime= this is a hobby, something you enjoy doing on your free time.
Diversion= this is something that can distract you from what you are doing or where you are going.
Example:
As a pastime I like to be entertained by watching movies. Comedies amuse me and they are a diversion from my everyday life.
Hope that helps you?
