Why arrange trials is not a possible option?
Clearly the government faced a dilemma: it could hardly ________ trials, especially in the absence of irrefutable evidence, but it also would not welcome, in the midst of war, the scandal that would arise if trials were avoided.

There’s a contrast in the sentence (created by the word “but”) between the second part of the sentence, where we learn than the government will have problems if it avoids trials, and the first part of the sentence. CHOICES A and B are correct since they both create a first part of the sentence in which the government can’t be in favor of trials, which contrasts nicely with the second part.
CHOICE C: “Arrange” would work just fine if it had a synonym in the
choices; it doesn’t.
CHOICE D: We need a contrast and “dispense with” creates continuation.
CHOICE E: Likewise, “turn its back on” creates continuation.
CHOICE F: There’s no support for “crediting” anything here; it creates a weak contrast with avoiding.
