Jake says “Je vais distraire le gardien avant he verrouille la porte. You sneak à l'intérieur.” What does distraire mean?

In French, distraire means “to distract” or “to divert someone’s attention.” In the sentence, Jake plans to distract the guard before the door is locked, giving someone a chance to sneak inside. So the correct choice is “distract.”
