Q1. Read the passage and answer the following questions.
When we enter New York harbour, the first thing we see is the Statue of Liberty. What
impresses us the most is its size and magnificence. Have you ever wondered how it came to
be there ? The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to mark the one hundred
year anniversary of American Independence. In 1869, sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi
began to plan his concept for the monument. Bartholdi chose the look of classic Greek and
Roman figures. He envisioned Liberty as a strong and proud figure, one who personified not
only the majestic Greek goddesses of the past, but also the working men and women of the
present. Finally, in 1884, the work was finished, and Liberty was packed into 214 crates and
sent to New York city. Only one problem stood in the way. While the French had raised a lot
of funds to build the statue, New York had not secured the funds to build its foundation. It
was not until a New York newspaper implored people for donations that money became
available. Finally, on 28th October 1886, Americans celebrated the unveiling of the Statue of
Liberty.
