2008 test · Question 95 of 100 ★ 65/20
Where is the Statue of Liberty?
Official USCIS answers
- New York (Harbor)
- Liberty Island [Also acceptable are New Jersey, near New York City, and on the Hudson (River).]
Why this is the answer
The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, which is why New York is the standard answer. The island sits in the water between New York and New Jersey, so answers mentioning New Jersey or the Hudson River area are also accepted.
💡 Memory tip: Picture the statue standing on an island in New York's harbor — 'New York Harbor' is the key phrase.
