D. Read the following article, answer true or false.

The arm of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty is probably the most famous icon of the USA. It was built to celebrate the
end of slavery, and later became a symbol for freedom among immigrants. The statue depicts
Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty. And the torch she carries high above her outstretched arm
represents a light that guides people along the path to freedom. Interestingly, however, Liberty
looks different from the way the designer first intended.

The idea for the statue came from a poet, Édouard de Laboulaye. When the American Civil war
ended, he wanted to commemorate the end of the slave trade with a gift. He and other people
who opposed slavery raised money and hired a sculptor, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, to design the
statue. Bartholdi later employed the French engineer, Gustave Eiffel, to devise its structure. Eiffel,
who would subsequently build the famous tower in Paris, was already a well-known designer of
railway bridges. So he knew how to build robust structures that are flexible and safe in strong
winds. This feature was necessary because the winds in New York harbor are extremely strong.
Today, the top of her torch swings over 15cm when the wind is blowing at 50 miles per hour.

Eiffel designed the statue to be built around a massive metal skeleton, similar to the Eiffel tower.
Huge pieces of copper were fixed onto this to form its shape. Until recently, two copies of the
plans were believed to exist. But recently, a third copy was discovered, which revealed some
interesting information. In 2018, a map dealer bought some historic papers at an auction in Paris,
which included original plans, calculations, and drawings of the statue. At first, the documents
were too fragile to read. But after special treatment, the papers clearly showed that Eiffel’s plans
had been changed by Bartholdi with red ink. Liberty’s arm, which was thick and vertical in Eiffel’s
drawing, was adjusted to be slimmer, less upright, and generally more attractive than Eiffels’
design.

The changes in the plans are dated July 28, 1882, after the construction of the tower had begun.
We don’t know what Eiffel thought of Bartholdi’s changes. By then, Eiffel was working on other
projects, and only his assistants were working with Bartholdi in New York. Maybe Bartholdi
thought he could make the changes because Eiffel was not there and would not complain.

However, the changes made the arm not only more attractive but also weaker, which has created
problems over the years. At first, visitors could climb a ladder to the torch in Liberty’s arm, but in
1916, there was an explosion on a nearby island. It damaged the statue and made it unsafe, and
the stairway to the torch has been closed ever since. During restoration work in the 1980s,
engineers noticed that the structure inside Liberty’s head, shoulders, and arm were different from
how they were shown on Eiffel’s plans. They thought that the builders had made mistakes, but

some historians believed that Bartholdi had changed Eiffel’s design. The newly discovered papers
confirm those theories
