Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The word hanged is incorrect in this context. Both hung and hanged are the past participle forms of the verb hang. The correct verb form to use when suspending or attaching something, like a lamp, is hung.

Hanged is typically used when referring to the act of executing someone by hanging them from a noose, not for hanging objects on a wall.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The servant hung the lamp on the wall.
