Grammar fix
raise a question
ask a question (especially in a formal or group setting)
to bring up or mention a question so that people can discuss or think about it, especially during a meeting, class, or discussion.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
During the meeting, Sarah raised a question about the new project deadline.
In my opinion, it is important to raise a question if you do not understand something in class, because it helps everyone learn.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: Can I raise up a question?
Say: Can I raise a question?
'Raise a question' — no 'up'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Bring a query before the committee' is meeting-formal; 'raise a question' is the natural collocation.
