Answer Details
The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "When the man was accused of stealing the money, nobody raised an eyebrow." is "surprised." In this context, the phrase "raised an eyebrow" is an idiomatic expression that means to show surprise or skepticism. If nobody raised an eyebrow when the man was accused of stealing the money, it means that nobody was surprised or showed any reaction to the accusation. This does not necessarily mean that people were pleased or interested in the situation, only that they did not show any signs of surprise.
