Which iconic statue does the crown of the Chrysler Building resemble?

• A. The Statue of Liberty
• B. The Empire State Building
• C. The Colossus of Rhodes
• D. The Statue of Liberty's torch

Answer: (A)

Think about crown-like forms that project rays or spikes. The Chrysler Building’s top is famous for its radiating, crown‑like metal arches that create a radiant silhouette high above the city. That same idea of a circular crown with outward spikes appears in the Statue of Liberty’s crown, which has seven spikes radiating from a central band to symbolize light and liberty. The visual echo of a radiant crown is why this statue’s crown is the best match for the Chrysler Building’s crown. The Empire State Building doesn’t feature a crown with radiating rays, the Colossus of Rhodes is an ancient statue not tied to this architectural motif, and the torch is a feature of the Statue of Liberty itself, not the crown.
