A Correct answer
Explanation

The passage criticizes politicians who hold positions without doing real work. 'Taken over the position of being _(iv)__' refers to politicians enjoying the benefits of their office without fulfilling responsibilities. A sinecure is a position or office that requires little or no work but gives a salary or status. Pediatrician is a doctor (unrelated), dregs are the remnants or worst parts, and scampers means running with quick short steps.
