A) in rising from B) to raise with C) to rise to D) to rise against E) No correction required

Discuss

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option C

Solution:

The sentence is about Anand's ability to overcome a difficult situation.
The phrase "rise to the occasion" is an idiom.
It means to respond effectively to a challenge or opportunity.
Option C, "to rise to," is the correct idiom.
The other options don't make sense in this context.
"Rise from the occasion" (original sentence) is grammatically incorrect.
"In rising from" (Option A) is also grammatically incorrect and doesn't fit the meaning.
"To raise with" (Option B) is grammatically incorrect and doesn't convey the intended meaning.
"To rise against" (Option D) implies opposing something, not overcoming it.
Therefore, only option C correctly uses the idiom and makes the sentence meaningful.
