Correct Answer: have been stolen from


Solution : The second option is correct.

Replace "have stolen with" with "have been stolen from" to make the sentence correct. The given sentence is formed in the passive voice structure of the present perfect tense and describes an action that has started in the past and whose result has effects in the present. Hence, have been should be used

Therefore, the correct sentence is: We have heard that some statues have been stolen from this ancient temple.
