Answer 1

第二种：
因为他们认为（thought一般过去时）这个阿拉伯人偷（发生在过去的过去，他们“认为”的过去。过去完成时）了他们的骆驼。

举个例：

在我到校前就已经上课了是不是，上课发生在我到校之前。

第二种。根据事情的发展顺序，"认为“是过去，"偷”是过去的过去，所以前者用过去式，后者用过去完成时。

Answer 3

2. they took the arab to a judge, because they thought the arab had stolen their camel.

Answer 4

第二个， had stolen their camel，表过去的过去。
