Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
In this context, the use of "hanged" is appropriate when referring to execution by hanging. It specifies the method of capital punishment.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Murdered: While "murdered" is a synonym for "killed", it doesn't specify the method of execution and implies unlawfulness.
Hung: It is the past form of "hang" which means to suspend something from above.
So, the correct sentence would be: "The criminal must be hanged. "
