Select the word that means to trick or fool others.

In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, author Mark Twain created the quick-witted and incorrigible character of Tom Sawyer. Whatever his Aunt Polly tells Tom to do, Tom wants to do the opposite. One fine Saturday, Aunt Polly orders Tom to paint their front fence with whitewash. Tom is desperate to get out of the chore and quickly figures out how to bamboozle the neighborhood boys into doing it for him. By acting absorbed in his task and feigning reluctance to let anyone else take the paintbrush from him, Tom makes the job appear quite desirable. Before long, the other boys have fallen for the deceit and are begging to do Tom's chore.

Alright, I apologize for any confusion. The sentence "Despite its name, the silkworm is not technically a worm at all; rather, it is the larva, or early form, of the silk moth" is slightly more formal due to the use of the word "rather" and the more precise explanation of the silkworm's classification.
