Correct Answer: Hanged
Solution : The correct choice is the second option "hanged".
"Hanged" means the execution of a person by suspending them by the neck as a form of punishment. It fits perfectly in the sentence conveying the intended meaning.
"Hung" is the past participle form of "hang" which means to suspend from above with the lower end dangling free. Both of these options are incorrect to use in the sentence as "hanged" is used specifically for the purpose discussed above.
Therefore, the complete sentence is "The convict was hanged on a Monday".
