Answer

SLUNG

SLUNG is the past tense of the verb sling, meaning to throw something with a sweeping motion or to hang something so it swings freely. The word comes from Old Norse and has been part of English for centuries. You might use it to describe how someone casually threw a jacket over a chair or how a rifle was carried over a shoulder.

Strategy Tip

When you suspect a word might be a past tense verb, remember that many irregular verbs use the UNG pattern like hung, rung, stung, and swung. If you have confirmed some of these letters, try thinking through common irregular verb forms.
