Which major landmark is located in Paris, France?

• A. The Statue of Liberty
• B. The Lincoln Memorial
• C. The Great Wall
• D. The Eiffel Tower

Answer: (D)

Recognizing famous landmarks and where they are helps you connect places to their cities. In Paris, the major landmark is the Eiffel Tower, a tall iron lattice tower that stands on the Champ de Mars near the Seine. It was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) and designed by Gustave Eiffel. Today it’s one of the best-known symbols of France and of Paris itself, instantly identified in photos and films. The Statue of Liberty is in New York Harbor, a gift from France but not in Paris. The Lincoln Memorial is in Washington, D.C. The Great Wall is in China.
