Best practice
Use the grammatically correct phrase "it raises the question" instead of "it rises the question" to ensure clarity and credibility in your writing.
Common error
Remember that "raise" is a transitive verb (it takes an object), while "rise" is intransitive (it does not take an object). Therefore, use "raises" when something is causing the question to be brought up.
