Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: was committed

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: In the original sentence, "was committed" creates a passive construction, which implies that someone else committed the man to the act of theft. To rectify this error, the sentence needs to use the active voice with "committed" as the past tense of the verb "commit", indicating that the man committed theft.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The man who committed the theft last night was caught this evening."
