Which monument began in 1948 and remains under construction?

• A. Rehearsal
• B. Crazy Horse Memorial
• C. Berlin Brandenburg Airport
• D. Wonderland Amusement Park

Answer: (B)

Projects that begin with a grand vision and remain unfinished illustrate how scale and funding affect completion. The Crazy Horse Memorial began in 1948 in the Black Hills of South Dakota, envisioned as a vast mountain carving of the Lakota warrior Crazy Horse. Work has continued for generations, carried on by Korczak Ziolkowski and later his family, long after his death, so it remains incomplete today. That combination of a late-start monumental sculpture and ongoing construction is what makes it the example that fits the prompt. The other options don’t match this pattern: they either didn’t start in 1948 or aren’t monuments that are still under construction.
