Civil Engineering And Architecture Practice Exam

In what year was the Empire State Building completed?

1929 1939 1950 1931

Correct Answer:

1931

Explanation:

Completion is about when the building is finished enough to be used. For the Empire State Building, the main structure and exterior were finished in early 1931, and it officially opened on May 1, 1931. So, its completion year is 1931, since that’s when it became a usable, occupied building. The other years don’t fit: 1929 is earlier and tied to events before construction began, while 1939 and 1950 are after it was already completed and in use.
