Question

Walter is writing a report on the world's tallest building. It has been difficult to determine which building is the world's tallest. One source states it is one building, and another source states it is a different building. 15 Which of these statements could Walter use to best clarify his report? A. According to Infoplease.com, the world's tallest building is Burj Dubai at 2,684 feet; however, it is not set to be officially opened until September 2009. B. Some people think that the world's tallest building is Tapei 101 located in Taiwan. Others would argue that Burj Dubai, in Dubai, is now the world's tallest building. C. Tapei 101 continues to hold the official title for the world's tallest building as cited by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, 2008, and Emporis Buildings. D. Wikipedia states that Burj Dubai is the world's tallest structure. Buildings are considered to be structures, so that must mean that Burj Dubai is the world's tallest building.

Answer 1

C. Tapei 101 continues to hold the official title for the world's tallest building as cited by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, 2008, and Emporis Buildings.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be best to go with the most credible source on this issue and that source would be the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). The CTBUH is a Non-Governmental Organization that is the world's most popular authority on all things buildings. If they say that the Tapei 101 is still the tallest building (as at the time), this is backed by experts in the field so Walter should go with their opinion.
