Answer:

She portrays it as massive and powerful.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the poem, "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus which was written in 1883, the poet intended to use the poem to raise funds for the Statue of Liberty. She describes the statue as a symbol of sanctuary to all those that sought it.

The poet portrays the "giant of Greek fame" as massive and powerful as she says that it is with conquering limbs "astride from land to land".
