but they were not hanged in public

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In questions below, you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.


Foreigners, whether from Eurasia or from Eastasia, were a kind of strange animal. One literally never saw them except in the guise of prisoners, and even as prisoners one never got more than a momentary glimpse of them. Nor did one know what became of them, apart from the few who were hanged as war-criminals: the others simply vanished, presumably into forced-labour camps.

A new poster had suddenly appeared all over London. It had no caption, and represented simply the monstrous figure of a Eurasian soldier, three or four metres high, striding forward with expressionless Mongolian face and enormous boots, a submachine gun pointed from his hip. From whatever angle you looked at the poster, the muzzle of the gun, magnified by the foreshortening, seemed to be pointed straight at you. The thing had been plastered on every blank space on every wall, even outnumbering the portraits of Big Brother. The people, normally apathetic about the war, were being lashed into one of their periodical frenzies of patriotism.

What happened to the few foreigners who appeared in the public?

Options:
A) Public chose to ignore them
B) They were seen with aversion
C) They were stoned to death
D) They were hanged in public
Solution:
Ans: (d) The first few lines of the passage say that those foreigners who were seen in public were hanged.
