Answer:
Tossed
Explanation:
The options you were given are the following:
The verbs <em>to fling</em> and <em>to hurl</em> 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 <em>to fling.</em>
Compared to the verb <em>to throw</em>, <em>to toss</em> has a more casual, lighter, connotation, while <em>to throw</em> 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<em> tossed.</em>
