Solution

The correct answer is "revoke". The sentence would read: "His mother vowed to revoke his TV and internet privileges if he did not complete his homework and finish all of his chores."

Here's why:

  1. "Flounce" means to move in an exaggeratedly impatient or angry manner, which doesn't fit the context.
  2. "Invoke" means to call on (a deity or spirit) in prayer, as a witness, or for inspiration, which also doesn't fit the context.
  3. "Revoke" means to put an end to the validity or operation of (a decree, decision, or promise), which fits perfectly in this context.
  4. "Bequeath" means to leave (a personal estate or one's body) to a person or other beneficiary by a will, which doesn't fit the context.
