Correct Answer: thrown


Solution : The correct answer is option 2.

Explanation

Thrown is a past participle of the verb "Throw" which means forcefully move (anything) through the air with an arm or hand motion.

Throne is a a ceremonial chair for a sovereign, bishop, or similar figure.

Throw means forcefully move (anything) through the air with an arm or hand motion.

We have to use the past tense of the verb throw as the sentence is in Past Tense.

According to the meaning of all these three homophones, the suitable word for the sentence is " Thrown". Hence we have chosen option 2.

Therefore the complete sentence is 

Apples were thrown into the sack.
