Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the word that should replace corrupt to create a sentence with a positive connotation is the following one: Honorable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem with the original sentence is that it is contradictory because it states that the policies by the city mayor's are corrupt, but at the same time, they attract the attention of the local citizens. Corrupt is the word causing the contradiction, so it should be changed to a word with a positive connotation for the sentence to make sense. Honorable is the word required among the options because it means "honest and fair, or deserving praise and respect".
