Thanks.
Are you sure that in this situation we should use "raise", and not "rise"???

I agree with CalifJim. The verb "rise" never takes an object, whereas "raise" does,
1. George raised his hand.
2. The sun rises in this east.
I hope this helps...

So for example we can say: "He rose", instead of "He stood up". right?
