The Lincoln Memorial is a monument dedicated to the President who ended slavery in America. In which city is it located?

• A. New York City
• B. Seattle
• C. Washington, D.C.
• D. Boston

Answer: (C)

Memorials to U.S. presidents are often placed in the national capital, on major public spaces. The Lincoln Memorial honors Abraham Lincoln, the president who led the country through the Civil War and helped end slavery. It is located in Washington, D.C., at the western end of the National Mall, beside the Reflecting Pool and facing the Washington Monument. Because of this public-landmark location, the correct city is Washington, D.C.—not New York City, Seattle, or Boston.
