What is the name of the poem written by Emma Lazarus on the Statue Of Liberty?

  1. A. Brave New World

  2. B. The Patriot's Poem

  3. C. The New Colossus

  4. D. Liberty Anthem

The correct answer is: C. The New Colossus

"The New Colossus" is the correct answer. This poem was written by Emma Lazarus and is famously inscribed on a bronze plaque inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The poem symbolizes the welcoming nature of America to immigrants and is a significant piece of American literature. The other options (A. Brave New World, B. The Patriot's Poem, D. Liberty Anthem) are not the correct names of the poem and do not have the historical association with the Statue of Liberty that "The New Colossus" does.
