b does. You don't need to say up when raised was used. We all know raised means up and lowered means down.

Unnecessary Word

The answer is B. The word up is not necessary. The sentence asks the exact same question with or without the word up. As you see, I just added the same unnecessary word.

B.
You can impart the same information by stating, "The snake raised its head and struck."
(by the way, I edited your statement to rid it of the superfluous "s" after the obviously intended singular "snake.")
Oops, yes, "D" also, but I didn't see that until I read the other responses. Dang!

Both B and D have unnecessary words. Furthermore, B should be "snake" and not "snakes."
B does not need "up," and D does not need "he." Furthermore, sentence C ends in a preposition. The sentence should be recast to, "Though he told her not to, she left early."

B and D.
B doesn't need the up as raised already acts as a complete verb.
D is only speaking in singular (ie one person) therefore it is not ambiguous as to whom is concealing his feelings.
