标题: 求助，rising interest rates哪部分是主语
Noting that the Federal Reserve had raised a key short-term interest rate again last month, analysts said that they expected orders for durable goods to decline soon because rising interest rates makes it more expensive to buy them on credit

A.rising interest rates makes it more expensive to buy them on credit

B.rising interest rates make buying on credit more expensive

C.a rise in interest rates make it more expensive to buy on credit

D.a rise in interest rates make buying on credit more expensive
E.a rise in interest rates makes it more expensive for them to be bought on credit

此题答案为B。
疑惑的是：
A.rising interest rates makes …… 为什么不能把“rising interest rates ”这个短语（这件事）看成主语，这样makes就对了呀。
把rising interest rates还是rates看成是主语，怎么判断啊？

Rising modifies interest rates. So the object is still rates. To raise interest rates or Raising interest rates, the object is the whole phrase, hence, it is single.

Rise vs. Raise.

是不是Rising modifies interest rates翻译成“上涨的利率”，rise是不及物动词，rising表示上涨着的状态，所以在这是个定语；Raising interest rates是指提高利率，表示提高这个动作，这个短语表示提高这一整件事？
