36. And for raise:
raise (DEVELOP)   
verb
to take care of a person, or an animal or plant, until they are completely grown:
Her parents died when she was a baby and she was raised by her grandparents.
The lambs had to be raised by hand (= fed artificial milk by people) when their mother died.
The farmer raises (= breeds) chickens and pigs.
The soil around here isn't good enough for raising (= growing) crops.

Notice which one refers to PEOPLE first, and which one refers to ANIMALS first.
