    Solution

    a- means ‘to move upwards’. b- means ‘to lift something to a higher position’. The word “raise” includes the words “something” and “someone.” That’s the big difference between the two. With “raise,” something is causing the upward movement of something else, whereas with “rise,” the cause is not stated. I- someone talking about raising someone’s pay. II- the cause is not stated. III- the volunteers are raising.
