Explanation:

- The sentence in the passage is talking about a past event in Victorian London.

- Option 3: was left - This option correctly uses the past tense to indicate an action that took place in the past. It aligns with the historical context of the passage.

- Option 1: has left - This option uses the present perfect tense, which implies an action that started in the past but has relevance to the present. It doesn't fit with the historical context.

- Option 2: left - This is simple past tense, and while it's grammatically correct, it doesn't convey the same sense of the passive effect on Victorian London.

- Option 4: is left - This is present tense and suggests an ongoing current situation, which isn't appropriate for the historical context of the passage.
