why not 'rise to the occasion' (Question: 128719.3 )

rose to the occasion is used instead of rise to the occasion...pls explain how

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In each of the following questions, a part of the sentence is Bold. Below each sentence are given some possible substitutions for the bold part. If one of them is better than the bold part, indicate your response against the corresponding letter. If none of the option improves the sentence choose “No correction required” as your answer.

She needed some help, so I come to the occasion and volunteered my services. 

Options:
A)

Rise to the occasion

B)

rose to the occasion

C)

rises to the occasion

D)

have come to the occasion

E)

No correction required

Solution:
Ans: (b) 
Rise to the occasion/challenge means to show that you can deal with a difficult situation successfully. It also means to perform better than usual in response to a special situation or event.

Eg: (1) In the exam she rose to the occasion and wrote a brilliant essay.

       (2) When it comes to the finals, the team can rise to the occasion

        (3) John was able to rise to the occasion and make the conference a success.

         (4) It was a big challenge, but he rose to the occasion.

          (5) It's not easy to play your first match in front of a crowd that size but he certainly rose to the occasion.
