Question VII: Read the passage; Then choose the best answers (2.0p) A NOBLE GIFT One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statute of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statute, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete.

Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statute which was 151 feet tall, had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statute had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi.
