The inappropriate phrase is A. The thief hid himself

• Rectification involves finding the incorrect words in a sentence or a paragraph and substituting them with the right terms.
• In the given sentence, the term himself is not required.
• Since, the word him is already mentioned in the last sentence, it is possible to determine the thief's gender as well.
• Thus, the correct sentence is - The thief hid in a deserted building when the Police tried to catch him
