Take a look at the sentence again:
When Mr. Tighe saw Julie using Moby-Dick as a coaster for a sweating
glass of cold soda, he __________ down his briefcase and lectured the poor
young woman on showing proper respect for great literature.
The sentence requires the past tense of throw, an irregular verb. Threw is the simple past form.
| Verb | Simple Present | Simple Past | Past Participle |
| throw | throw(s) | threw | thrown |
Throwed, the form you chose, is a spelling error. Before you continue, review the rules for irregular verbs.
