IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

When the Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States of America by the people of France, the
people in America did not understand that Miss Liberty was a gift to all the Americans. They thought she
was a gift only to New York. So they didn't want to pay for her base. At that time, Joseph Pulitzer was
editor of the World newspaper. He wrote stories that asked people to give money to help pay for Miss
Liberty's base. Pulitzer asked his friends who worked at other cities' newspapers to help. Soon the country
knew that Miss Liberty was a gift for everyone. The people sent money. At last there was enough money
to build the base.
In Paris, the huge statue was taken down piece by piece. She was carefully packed in 214 boxes. In June
1884, she left for America. When Miss Liberty's ship arrived in America, ninety boats greeted her with
flags flying. They went with her into New York Harbour. The base, which had to be very big and solid to
hold the lady, was not finished. So Miss Liberty was stored on Bedloe's Island. When the last stone of the
base was put in place, the workers showered coins from their pockets into the wet mortar. They were very
happy. Next came the hard task of putting Miss Liberty together. The people on shore watched each day
as the framework rose higher into the sky. Then came the copper "skin." Miss Liberty began as a sign of
the friendship between the two countries. Since that time, she has come to mean freedom for the
Americans.
