Christine wrang her hands as she listened to
Professor Armour's lecture about tardiness. Although Christine
swore to her algebra teacher
that she would never be late again, everyone in the class knew that when
the alarm clock rang the next
morning, Christine would hit the snooze button one time too many.
The first verb, wrang, is the problem. As you know, the sentence requires the simple past. Wrung is the correctly spelled form.
