Given below are four sentences, one of which is grammatically correct. Select the most appropriate correct sentence.
The police arrested the accused last night.
'Police' is a collective noun that always takes a plural verb, so 'has arrested' is incorrect. Since 'last night' specifies a definite point in the past, the simple past tense 'arrested' is required; the present perfect 'have arrested' and the past perfect 'had arrested' are both inconsistent with this definite past time marker.
