Explanation:

- The passage describes a situation where an Italian mayor and some councilors took on the task of cleaning the streets. This was due to an absence of manual workers.

- Option 1, councillor: This is used earlier in the passage to describe the people helping the mayor and is not suitable as a replacement in blank No. 5.

- Option 2, mayor: The passage talks about the mayor’s leadership, so this option is not appropriate for the retiring role.

- Option 3, member: This is too vague. The passage likely refers to a specific role, given the described duties.

- Option 4, worker: This option fits the context of the passage, which indicates a lack of manual workers in the town, making it the most appropriate choice for blank No. 5.

Option 4, worker, is the correct choice.
