Explanation:

- The sentence likely refers to someone doing an action. Since "sweeping" is a continuous action, the blank should be filled with a pronoun referring to a person.

- Let's explore the options:

- Option 1: "he" refers to a male person, likely the mayor.

- Option 2: "it" refers to an object or non-person entity, which doesn't fit an action performed by a person.

- Option 3: "they" refers to more than one person, but the context seems aimed at a single person.

- Option 4: "she" refers to a female person, which wouldn't match if the mayor is male in this context.

- Based on the context, where an individual action by the mayor is emphasized, Option 1: "he" is the most logical choice.
