Answer: had stolen
Student Choice, Answer with ExplanationExplanation: If the sentence before “that” is in the past indefinite tense, then the part after “that” will typically be in the past perfect tense. In this case, the action in the part after “that” occurs prior to the action in the first part.

Therefore, the correct answer to the above sentence would be “had stolen.”
