The longest out of the given choices is motive.

To determine which option is the longest, we need to compare the lengths of each word listed:

1. motive
2. cadence
3. climax
4. phrase

To figure out the lengths, we count the number of letters in each word:

1. motive - 6 letters
2. cadence - 7 letters
3. climax - 6 letters

Based on the number of letters, "cadence" is the longest word with 7 letters, while "motive," "climax," and "phrase" all have 6 letters. Therefore, the correct answer is "cadence."
