Correct option is D
The correct substitution for the highlighted segment "rised" is (d) "rose."
·
Verb Correction: The verb "rised" is incorrect because "rise" is an irregular verb, and its past tense form is "rose," not "rised."
·
Context: The sentence describes an action that occurred in the past ("in the last quarter"), so the correct past tense form "rose" should be used.
Grammatical Rule: Irregular verbs do not follow the regular -ed ending pattern for the past tense. Instead, they have unique forms, such as "rise" (present), "rose" (past), and "risen" (past participle).
Example:
· Incorrect: The sun rised at 6 AM.
· Correct: The sun rose at 6 AM.
