This might be a double definition.

'a subject' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'trouble?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'causing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rebel that I've seen before include "Insurgent, renegade" , "(One who) revolt(s)" , "Defy authority" , "One who's risen in opposition" , "Authority fighter" .)
