Read the paragraph.

Max _______ the book of poetry aside. Even though he had read it twice, the poems made little sense to him. Why couldn’t people just say what they meant, without resorting to flowery language and loopy sentences? He rubbed his eyes, gave himself a minute to calm down, and then found the book, where it had landed underneath the bed. “OK, third time’s the charm,” he said as he started reading again.

What verb best completes the sentence?

Answer:

Tossed

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • Flung
  • Hurled
  • Tossed
  • Threw

The verbs to fling and to hurl are similar. They both refer to throwing something forcefully, but when someone hurls something, they usually do it out of anger, while that is not necessary when it comes to the verb to fling.

Compared to the verb to throw, to toss has a more casual, lighter, connotation, while to throw is a more powerful and deliberate action. Also, toss usually suggests an underarm movement, whilst throw involves the full overarm action.

Max is frustrated as poetry doesn't make sense to him, but there is no anger, so the verb that best completes the sentence is tossed.

The answer is flung!
