Answer 1

The Washington Monument was closed for repairs following an earthquake and it honors the first U.S. president, George Washington.

Step-by-step explanation:

After an earthquake rocked Washington, D.C., in August 2011, the Washington Monument, which honors the first U.S. president, was closed for repairs. The monument celebrates the legacy of George Washington, who took the oath of office in 1789 in New York City, becoming the first president and setting a standard for future leaders.

Over time, presidents like George W. Bush have sought to associate themselves with the office's magnificence and project an image of consensus rather than conflict, sometimes by giving speeches at monuments that honor past presidents, illustrating a connection between current leadership and the nation's history.

The Washington Monument, which honors the first U.S. president, was closed for repairs after an earthquake in 2011.

Regarding the earthquake that rocked Washington, D.C. in August 2011, the Washington Monument, which is a monument that celebrates the greatness of four American presidents, had to undergo repairs.
