1. are the values from the poem on the statue of liberty still supported today? provide evidence.

Explanation:

To determine the central ideas, analyze each sentence:

• Sentence 1: About fundraising for the pedestal, likely a detail, not central.
• Sentence 2: Her sonnet's reflection on welcoming refugees – relevant to the Statue of Liberty's meaning (central).
• Sentence 3: Personal family history, a detail, not central.
• Sentence 4: Links the statue to Emma Lazarus’ words, emphasizing the poem's importance (central).

So sentences 2 and 4 contain central ideas.

Answer:

C. 2 and 4
