In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):
Atuk, without giving any hint as to what he intended to do, went and ... himself
The correct answer is A. hung
Hung is the past tense and past participle of hang in most of that verbâs senses. For instance, yesterday you might have hung a picture on the wall, hung a right turn, and hung your head in sorrow. The exception comes where hang means to put to death by hanging. The past tense and past participle of hang in this sense, and only in this sense, is hanged.
When someone is hung out of malice but with no intent to kill, as described in the example below, hung is the conventional word:
Example = (1)They hung him by chains and tortured him
(2)Two teenage boys that hung on to tree branches for two hours in the middle of Beaver Creek have been rescued.
