Correct Answer: how the thieves enter
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The error lies in the segment "how the thieves enter". The word "enter" is in the present tense, but it should be expressed in the past perfect tense, as this tense is used to indicate the action that happened earlier than the other in the past.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The newspaper reported that it was a mystery how the thieves had entered the house."
