Answer

Brief Explanations:

To identify the passive - voice sentence, recall that the passive voice has the structure "be + past participle". Sentence 3 has "is stolen" (where "is" is the form of "be" and "stolen" is the past participle of "steal"). Sentence 1 has "watched" (active voice: subject "our English class" performs the action). Sentence 2 has "bungle" (active voice: subject "a couple of incompetent thieves" does the action). Sentence 4 has "make" and "return" (active voice: subject "the thieves" does the actions).
