1. The attackers decided to raise the castle to the ground.
2. They raised their children to be freethinking boys and girls.
3. To raise a toast to a newly-wed couple is a common practice.
4. The rays of the sun rose above the mountain.

Explanatory Answer

We are dealing with "raise", "rays" and a probably wrong usage of these words. "Raise" is to construct, develop, nourish someone or something. "Rays" refers to light. These result in options B, C and D being error-free.
In option A, "raise" is a wrong usage, because "raise" cannot be accompanied by "to the ground". The correct usage is "razed the castle to the ground". Hence, the right answer choice is option A.

The question is "One of the statements below contains a word used incorrectly. Choose the option which has the incorrect or inappropriate usage of the word"
