| No, I'm afraid answer (a) isn't right, because 'strike' means 'hit'. To make cake batter, eggs are normally whisked, beaten or whipped. |

Hi Sonia,
I notice that you have made a few posts asking for the meanings of single words. You ought to use a good Learners' Dictionary.
You can look up 'whisk' using this dictionary and get the various meanings and some examples.
(One of the advantages of an online dictionary is that you can click a link to hear the pronunciation of the word too.)
Please make sure you save the web address for future use.

Hi Sonia,
'Whisk' in the sense that Conchita used it, suggests beat or whip something such as an egg repeatedly until it becomes frothy (full of bubbles).
