Correct Answer: she was caught


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The original sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error. The subject "she" is singular, so the correct past tense form of the verb should be "was" instead of "were". The verb "caught" is the most suitable substitute for "thought" in the context of the sentence, conveying the idea that the teacher was discovered or found in the act of taking school supplies.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The art history teacher was sacked after she was caught taking school supplies."
