In The Sherlock Society, which city has the third highest skyline in the country?

• A. Miami
• B. New York
• C. Chicago
• D. Los Angeles

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how a skyline is ranked depends on the metric you use. In this scenario, the ranking is based on the downtown vertical profile—the number and height of tall buildings that define the skyline. Under that measure, the city identified as having the third highest skyline is Miami. This fits the setup because New York and Chicago are typically seen as having the top-skies due to their many and very tall skyscrapers, while Los Angeles has a prominent but more spread-out skyline. The question’s data place Miami in that third position, so it’s the best answer given the metric used.
