Learners often confuse 'rouse' with 'arouse' and 'raise'. Use 'rouse' or 'arouse' with emotions and actions (e.g. 'rouse anger', 'arouse interest'), but use 'raise' with objects or levels (e.g. 'raise prices', 'raise your hand'). Also, avoid using 'rouse' for sexual meaning; modern English uses 'arouse' for that.
