The correct answer is <span>hī' brĭd, which is the second option. Even if you are unsure about the first syllable of the word, you can find the correct answer based on the second syllable. The second syllable, brid, is short, you pronounce it quite fast, which is why you need to use the symbol </span>ĭ, which is a breve, and denotes a short syllable. Given that the second option is the only one that has that symbol, B is the correct answer. The first symbol, ī', is read as 'ai.'
