In the question below choose the option nearest in meaning to the word or phrase underlined:A number or people impersonating tax-official were arraigned before the Chief Magistrate this morning

Answer Details

The word "arraigned" in this context means that the group of people who were impersonating tax officials were formally charged and presented before a court of law. The option nearest in meaning to the underlined phrase is "brought." It means that the group of people were taken or presented before the Chief Magistrate for a legal proceeding. The other options do not accurately convey the same meaning as they refer to different actions such as arranging, parading, or moving, which may not necessarily imply a legal proceeding.
