Another common and wrong explanation. The air is pushed down by induced rotation. An inclined wing is one way to do it, but is not necessary.

Sorry. An inclined wing just means the wing is at an angle relative to the airflow. An induced rotation means that the wing causes the airstream to turn, so the airflow around the wing has a circular, rotating component.
