Final answer:

The word 'whisk' matches best with option d) flick, which represents a similar quick, light motion. For the review activity, words such as 'twine,' 'dive,' 'pike,' and 'grind' have a long vowel 'i', while 'brim,' 'disc,' and 'mint' have a short vowel 'i'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word whisk in the context of the provided options can be most closely associated with d) flick. A whisk involves a rapid movement or stroke, which is similar to the action described by the word flick. Here, both words describe a quick, light, but deliberate motion.

Regarding the review activity provided to label each word as having a short or long vowel i:

  1. twine - long i
  2. brim - short i
  3. disc - short i
  4. dive - long i
  5. pike - long i
  6. grind - long i
  7. mint - short i

In the words twine, dive, pike, and grind, the vowel i is pronounced with a longer sound, indicative of a long i vowel. In contrast, the words brim, disc, and mint have a shorter i sound, indicating a short i vowel.
