Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach
In questions with the auxiliary do/does/did, the main verb appears in its base form (bare infinitive). Past simple is carried by did, not by the main verb.
Step-by-step check
A. "did you not throw" → base form after did ✔B. "had you not threw" → wrong auxiliary and wrong past form ✖C. "did you not thrown" → past participle after did ✖D. "you did not thrown" → wrong order for a question and wrong form ✖E. "No correction required" → incorrect because "threw" cannot follow "did". ✖
Correct construction
"Why did you not throw the bag away?"
Common pitfalls
Using past/participle (threw/thrown) after did; forgetting inversion in questions.
Final Answer
did you not throw
