Answer:

The plans for Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, always included space reserved for honoring George Washington. But it was not until after Washington's death that funds were raised to begin such an undertaking. The Washington National Monument Society sought both money and designs, with Robert Mills submitting the winning idea.

As a nod to the Society's challenge for a monument that would be 'unparalleled in the world,' Mills looked to the ancient Egyptians, who are world-famous for their architectural achievements. An obelisk is a tapered column that, in an ancient Egyptian symbolism, represents the place from which the world was created. It's symbolically related to the sun and the cycle of rebirth, with attention paid to the obelisk's position on Earth so that the rising and setting sun brighten its top. Obelisks were erected to honor kings and gods, so an obelisk was a fitting choice to show deference to the father of the country.

I think this should be good.

Answer:

I find the word 'boondoggle' unusual.  Since 'boondoggle' means 'a useless or wasteful project', I'd predict that they wasted time on planning a project that didn't work or didn't seem to cohere to what they were trying to do. But relating to an essay about the American space program, I'd say that they use the term boondoggle because people might have thought that the American space program were wasting time on exploring space when they still have a lot to learn on earth.

Explanation:

Try to change up the words so the teachers don't find out that you're plagarising, because I put this as my answer. Hope this helps though!
