Correct Answer: the thieves have leave


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The third part of the sentence has an error. Since the person is recalling the past, we should use had as a helping verb to denote the past perfect tense, as it is used to denote the action that happened earlier than the other.

Therefore, the correct sentence is : He finally recalled that the thieves had left from the front door.
