Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a list of “HOW” expressions:
how much / how long / how wide / how high / how many / how heavy
And we need to match them with these categories:
Length, Width, Height, Weight, Price, Number
Then, for each fact about the Statue of Liberty, we must write the correct question using the right “HOW” expression.
---
Step 1: Match the HOW expressions to the categories
Think about what each “HOW” word asks for:
-
how long → used for length (like how long is something from end to end)
-
how wide → used for width (how broad or across something is)
-
how high → used for height (how tall something is)
-
how heavy → used for weight (how much something weighs)
-
how much → often used for price or cost (how much money?)
-
how many → used for counting things (number of items)
So let’s match:
| Category | Correct HOW Expression |
|----------|------------------------|
| Length | how long |
| Width | how wide |
| Height | how high |
| Weight | how heavy |
| Price | how much |
| Number | how many |
✔ That’s our matching done!

Step 2: Now ask the questions for each fact
We’ll go one box at a time and turn the fact into a question using the correct “HOW” phrase.
#### Box 1: Length of the right arm : 12.8 m
→ This is about
length, so use
how long
Question:
How long is the right arm?
#### Box 2: Width of mouth : 0.91 m
→ This is about
width, so use
how wide
Question:
How wide is the mouth?
#### Box 3: Height from base to torch : 46.5 m
→ This is about
height, so use
how high
Question:
How high is it from base to torch?
#### Box 4: Total weight of the statue : 204.1 tons
→ This is about
weight, so use
how heavy
Question:
How heavy is the statue?
#### Box 5: Ferry ticket to the statue : $11.50
→ This is about
price, so use
how much
Question:
How much is the ferry ticket to the statue?
#### Box 6: Number of steps to go up to the top : 354
→ This is about
number, so use
how many
Question:
How many steps are there to go up to the top?
---
All questions are now written correctly using the right “HOW” expression for each type of measurement.
Final Answer:
Length → how long
Width → how wide
Height → how high
Weight → how heavy
Price → how much
Number → how many
Questions:
- How long is the right arm?
- How wide is the mouth?
- How high is it from base to torch?
- How heavy is the statue?
- How much is the ferry ticket to the statue?
- How many steps are there to go up to the top?
