Question 2 Read the excerpt and answer the question that follows.

While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest achievement in skyscraper
engineering so far, it's unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the
quest for the world's tallest building. The question is: Just how high can buildings be
built? Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly
one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. Architect Robert Sobel claims
that existing technology could produce a 500-story building.

From Ron Bachman, "Reaching for the Sky." Dial (May 1990): 15.
