OG11-Verbal: 17 vs 8

17. In the mid-1960’s a newly installed radar warning system mistook the．rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets．

(A)  rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets

(B)  rising of the moon for a massive Soviet missile attack

(C)  moon rising to a massive missile attack by the Soviets

(D)  moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack

(E)  rise of the moon as a massive Soviet missile attack

两道题都有涉及rise的用法（虽然17题主要是考察mistake的用法）。第八题最早是在白勇书中做的，其中解释提到rise因为本身就是名词，所以the rising of 有wordy的嫌疑，同时也不能用the rise of， 因为这个的意思为崛起，强大。所以做到17题时感觉没有正确答案。但OG中的答案给了B。哪位NN请帮忙解释指点、梳理一下rise的用法。
