    given to fill in the blanks. The manager was known for taking swift action whenever any issue __________ in the department.
    A rose Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B aroused Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C raised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D arose Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Arose is the correct past tense of arise, meaning “to come up” or “emerge.”
    Rose is the past tense of rise (not correct in this context).
    Raised is used when there is a subject doing the action (e.g., he raised his hand).
    Aroused means “to evoke a feeling” (e.g., aroused anger), so it's contextually wrong.
