The unruly crowd demanded that the accused be _______________ without trial.
- hanged
- Bhanging
- Chankering
- Dhung
Explanation
'Hanged' is the correct past participle when referring to a person being executed by hanging. 'Hung' is used for objects (e.g. 'the picture was hung'), and 'hanging'/'hankering' don't fit the passive construction 'be ___'.
