Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The thief had been caught by the police on the day before yesterday.
The original sentence is in the past perfect tense.
- Passive subject (the object of the active sentence)
- Appropriate form of the auxiliary verb "be" (matching the tense of the original sentence)
- Past participle of the main verb (the verb "catch" becomes "caught" in the past participle form)
So, the correct passive form of the original sentence is: "The thief had been caught by the police on the day before yesterday."
