    (B) enamored by.
    Selecting the appropriate term is crucial here. The hint provided is “the dancers alone made his trip worthwhile,” indicating Flaubert’s admiration for them. “Enamored by” is the most suitable choice to convey such a sentiment. “Overwhelmed by” is excessive and implies Flaubert couldn’t handle the experience. “Taken aback by” merely suggests surprise without specifying whether it was positive. On the other hand, “beseeched by” doesn’t reveal Flaubert’s feelings, and if he were flustered, he wouldn’t have found the encounter worthwhile. Therefore, “enamored by” best captures Flaubert’s sentiment towards the dancers.
