Final Jeopardy Answer for September 27
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on September 27, 2024 is “What is the Washington Monument?”
The most important part of the clue is knowing who John Sherman is and when he was senator. Sherman was a United Stated senator for Ohio from 1861 to 1877 and then again from 1881 to 1897. He was also the Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference in 1884 and 1885.
Meanwhile, construction of the Washington Monument started in 1848, and after a lengthy delay between 1854 and 1877, it was finally open for viewership in 1888. Between 1884 and 1889, the structure was the highest before being supplanted by the Eiffel Tower. With these two pieces of information, the contestants should be guided toward this landmark as the right answer.
