medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
How to use hung
Clothes can be hung on hangers and pictures can be hung on walls. Some people use the rule of thumb that things are hung and people are hanged, but that doesn’t always work out the way it should. It is possible to suspend people without intending to hurt them—for example, to harness someone to a bungee cord and dangle them off the bridge (which may seem like tempting death, but that’s more of an opinion than a fact).
How to use hanged
If you are deciding between hanged vs. hung and an act of execution is involved, always choose hanged. Hanged can also be used reflexively to refer to suicides (e.g., he hanged himself, they hanged themselves).
H. H. Holmes was hanged for murder in 1896.
The terminally ill man hanged himself rather than face a torturous demise.
