Answer 1

Hi! So I just took the quick check, and it was Emma Lazarus's poem "The New Colossus"

Answer 2

The correct answer is "B".

The "New Colossus" was written by Emma Lazarus 1883. It was published in order to raise money for the construction of the pedestal that would later support The Statue of Liberty. The poem gave new meaning for the Statue as a symbol of the welcoming of the United States to the "outcasts" and "downtrodden" of the world.
