Final answer:
The sentence stating that the capital of the United States of America is Washington, D.C. is correct and therefore the answer is True. The city's historical significance and lack of natural defenses are notable, especially considering events in the War of 1812. Additionally, the architectural influence of the Capitol Building on state capitol buildings reflects the prominence of the national capital.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sentence to be retyped is, "The capital of the United States of America is Washington, D.C." With this sentence, the question posed was to determine whether the statement is true or false. When answering this, it is important to know that Washington, D.C. is indeed the capital of the United States, where the national Congress meets, and is distinct from state governments that have their own capitals. The sentence does not require any correction, thus the answer is: 1) True.
False statements are sometimes included in questions to test knowledge about American history. For instance, the statement that Washington, D.C. has no natural defenses can be verified as true by historical events, such as when it was overrun by British troops in the War of 1812 and key buildings like the White House and the Capitol were burned.
It is also noteworthy that the design of many state capitol buildings is inspired by the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., highlighting the influence and importance of the national capital.
