Which English verb translates relever as in the sense of lifting or picking up?

• A. To rise
• B. To replace
• C. To pick up
• D. To overlook

Answer: (C)

Relever in this sense describes a physical, transitive action—lifting or lifting up an object with your hand. The natural English translation is “to pick up,” because it conveys exactly that act of taking hold of something and raising it off a surface. For example, “Il relève le paquet” becomes “He picks up the package.”

The other options don’t fit because they describe different ideas. “To rise” is intransitive; it means something moves upward on its own, not something you do to an object. “To replace” means to substitute one thing for another, not to lift. “To overlook” generally means to ignore or to supervise, which has nothing to do with physically lifting.
