tossed

Explanation:

• "Tossed" implies a light, casual throw.
• "Lobbed" suggests a gentle, high - arc throw.
• "Hurled" conveys a forceful, violent throw. Since we need to show that Ann threw the snowball with force, "hurled" is the most appropriate.

Ann hurled a snowball at Ron, but it whizzed past him and landed with a splat against the wheelbarrow.
