D. NEW OR OLD - Circle the correct answer

Define “Old” as built before 1900, “New” as after 1900 (roughly).

1. Big Ben → Completed 1859 → OLD
2. Angkor Wat → Built 12th century → OLD
3. Machu Picchu → Built ~1450 → OLD
4. Burj Khalifa → Opened 2010 → NEW
5. Parthenon → Built 447 BC → OLD
6. Great Pyramids → Built ~2500 BC → OLD
7. Stonehenge → Built ~3000 BC → OLD
8. Petronas Towers → Completed 1998 → NEW
9. Coliseum → Built ~80 AD → OLD
10. Eiffel Tower → Built 1889 → OLD *(even though late 19th century, still considered “old” in this context vs. modern skyscrapers)*

Wait — let’s double-check #10: Eiffel Tower (1889) — if “new” means 20th century onward, then it’s old. But sometimes people call it “modern”. However, compared to Burj Khalifa or Petronas, it’s clearly older. So OLD is correct.

But wait — look at the pattern: In D, they’re contrasting very ancient things with modern skyscrapers. Eiffel Tower is from 1889 — that’s over 130 years ago. Definitely “old” in this context.

So final answers for D:

1. OLD
2. OLD
3. OLD
4. NEW
5. OLD
6. OLD
7. OLD
8. NEW
9. OLD
10. OLD
