    Solution

    Replace HANGED with HUNG The lemons in our neighbor’s garden hung invitingly, and they took me back to those lazy summer afternoons where we would squander them away in pitchers of lemonade. The regular past tense of hang is hung, which would mostly be used. In the case of hanging someone by the neck the past tense is hanged which means killed by hanging.
