Question: 268
5. The main purpose of the passage is to
- A. inform the reader about the history of the Statue of Liberty
- B. describe how Bartholdi designed the Statue of Liberty
- C. compare fundraising efforts in the United States and France
- D. explain how the Statue was assembled on her pedestal
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A is correct. This passage is entirely devoted to telling the history of the Statue of Liberty from design to financing to completion. It does not describe how Bartholdi designed the Statue (choice B), but only tells that he did so with the help of Eiffel. It mentions fund-raising in the United States and France (choice C), but it is not devoted to comparing them. Only one sentence in the entire passage is devoted to assembling the Statue on her pedestal (choice D).
