5. The following paragraph is missing from this report.
Type the following paragraph into the report. It should
be the second to last paragraph.
In creating Mt. Rushmore, nearly
500,000 tons of rock was removed by
either blasting with dynamite or
chiseling with jack hammers and drills.
Throughout this operation, many
problems arose, as the blasting on the
mountain exposed layers of granite that
were of poor quality. This meant that
some of the figures had to be turned or
moved. One example is that the figure
of Thomas Jefferson was originally
planned to be on Washington's right,
but had to be moved to his left.
