    Solution

    The verb "rises" is in the present tense, but the sentence refers to a past event ("On its first day of trading"), so "rises" should be replaced with "rose" (past tense).The correct sentence should be: "On its first day of trading, the stock rose 51% to be the most expensive bank in India based on price-to-book."
