Question

**RAISE**

Choose the option that shows the sentence(s) where the word **raise** is used correctly:

(A) The teacher asked the students to raise their hands if they knew the answer.

(B) The government plans to raise new buildings in the city.

(C) They worked hard to raise funds for the charity event.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Sentence (A): "The teacher asked the students to raise their hands if they knew the answer." 
   - Here, "raise" means to lift or move something to a higher position, which is correct.

2. Sentence (B): "The government plans to raise new buildings in the city."
   - The word "raise" is incorrectly used here. The correct verb should be "build" or "construct" buildings. "Raise" is not used with buildings in this context.

3. Sentence (C): "They worked hard to raise funds for the charity event."
   - Here, "raise" means to collect or gather money, which is a correct usage.

Therefore, only sentences (A) and (C) use the word "raise" correctly.

**Answer:** (b) Both A and C
