Correct Answer: It have been another long day
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The error lies in the use of the present tense "have" instead of the past tense "had". The correct sentence should convey that it "had been" another long day, indicating the past tense. This maintains the proper tense structure throughout the whole sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Gryffindors trooped back up to the castle, none of them talking; it had been another long day ."
