Correct Answer: No improvement


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation:

The original sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the past perfect tense had thrown , which is appropriate in this context. The action of throwing the wrapper into the garbage occurred before another past action or time point, making the past perfect tense suitable.

So, the correct sentence would be: He had thrown the wrapper into the garbage.
