In response to you raise to the occasion or you rise to the occasion (learning English)

There is variability in almost all English grammar 'rules', but raise is usually transitive, taking an object that actually experiences the elevation. Rise is routinely use intransitively, where the subject is experiencing the movement. The wine is the glass rises, but you raise the glass. Ocean levels rise as a result of climate change, but the rising ocean levels raises all boats and requires communities to raise taxes to battle the rising seas.
