Can an elevator descend?

[Marina Gaidar]

An elevator is descending from above. Does it sound ok? Or it would be better to say "is lowered" or something?

Yes, it sounds OK. No it wouldn't be better to say that.

, Delete 'from above'. It's hardly going to descend from below. Otherwise it's fine; 'is lowered' isnot.
