Answer:

He wrung as much water out of the towel as he could before hanging it up.

When she heard the news, she wrung her hands in frustration.

Explanation:

As given in the question, the definitions of the two words "rung" and "wrung" are different. While "rung" is a noun, the word "wrung" is a verb, which clearly shows their difference easily.

Now, the correct use of the verb "wrung" is found in sentences 1 and 2. In sentence 1, the transitive verb is used to refer to the act of extracting, squeezing out the excess water from the towel. Sentence 2 refers to the act of inflicting pain in oneself, like "she wrung her hands in frustration".

Thus, the correct answers are

<em>He wrung as much water out of the towel as he could before hanging it up. </em>

<em>When she heard the news, she wrung her hands in frustration.</em>
