Correct Answer: The thief had been caught by the police the day before yesterday.
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the past perfect tense in the passive form is: " Singular object + had been + past participle of the main verb + 'by' followed by the agent of action + time reference."
Therefore, the correct answer is: The thief had been caught by the police the day before yesterday.
