Explanation:

- Let's take a closer look at the sentence in context: "Felix Deacon was attacked ______ the street."

- Option 1: into

- "Into" suggests movement from the outside to the inside, meaning entering or penetrating. It doesn't fit contextually with being attacked in a location.

- Option 2: through

- "Through" implies passing from one side to another. It indicates a direction over a distance and doesn't work well here.

- Option 3: in

- "In" indicates location or position within a space. It makes sense if someone is attacked while being within or at a place like a street.

- ? This option fits perfectly.

- Option 4: at

- "At" can suggest location as well, but it often points to a specific point rather than a broader area like "in."

Based on this analysis, Option 3: in is the most suitable choice for the context.
