The word underlined is raise and they want you to identify the correct form of it. I think it would be B. raised

Are you saying it would be C then? Because I thought I was trying to use it in past tense form since they are talking about 1960?? Or were you saying I was correct

Answer 7

You are correct! The correct form of the word "raise" in this sentence is "raised." This is because the sentence is written in the past tense and refers to an action that has already happened in the past. The verb "raised" is the simple past tense form of "raise," which is the appropriate form to use in this context. Therefore, option B, "raised," is the correct choice.
