Correct Answer: yesterday had took


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

Explanation: The past perfect tense ("had took") is not appropriate here because the sentence is already anchored in the past by the word "yesterday". The correct construction is to use the simple past tense for the action that occurred yesterday.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: My elder brother yesterday took my Facebook password.
