Read the passage about a historic building and choose the best answer for each question.

The building Edificio Otto Wulff in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was built by the Danish architect Morten F. Rönnow. It was named after the business man who commissioned the building; its construction started in 1912 and finished in 1914. Until the end of World War I in 1918, the consulate of the Austro-Hungarian Empire occupied the space. Now there are a lot of offices in the building, mainly architects' studios, but nobody lives there.

The main architectural style of the building is Jugendstil, the German version of the French art nouveau, but it also shows elements of Renaissance and Neoclassical styles. On the outside walls there are eight huge figures, representing workers that are needed when constructing a building. On the balconies there are many animals: flamingos, bees, a bear, owls and penguins. At the top, just below the roof, there are four condors, the largest birds in the world.

On the roof of the building there are two towers. On one there is a crown, dedicated to the Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. On the top of the other tower there is a sun which is dedicated to his wife, the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, also famously known as Sisi.
