Correct answer: A. left
- Step 1: 'Last week' requires a past tense verb.
Answer
left.
Why not the others: "leaves" is wrong because the present simple does not fit 'last week'. "will leave" is wrong because the future does not fit 'last week'. "is leaving" is wrong because the continuous does not fit 'last week'.
