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.
