BIG BEN
Big Ben is the nickname of the Great Bell of Westminster, the hour bell of the Great Clock, hanging in the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster, the home of the Houses of Parliament in the United Kingdom. 
One theory holds that the bell was named "Big Ben" after Sir Benjamin Hall, the Chief Commissioner of Works. Another theory suggests that at the time anything which was heaviest of its kind was called "Big Ben" after the then famous prizefighter Benjamin Caunt, making it a natural name for the bell. 
The bell weighs 13.8 tons, with a striking hammer weighing 203.2kg, and was originally tuned to E. There is delay of 5 seconds between strikes. It is a common misconception that Big Ben is the heaviest bell in Britain. In fact, it is only the third heaviest, the second heaviest being Great George found at Liverpool Cathedral (about 14 tons) and the heaviest being Great Paul found at St Paul's Cathedral (about 16 tons). 
Big Ben is a focus of New Year celebrations in the UK, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the 'official' start of the year. Similarly, on Remembrance Day, the chimes of Big Ben are broadcast to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the start of two-minute silence.

	A. in the Great Bell of Westminster 	B. in the Clock Tower

	A. Big Ben, Great George, Great Paul 	B. Great George, Big Ben, Great Paul 
	C. Great Paul, Big Ben, Great George 	D. Great Paul, Great George, Big Ben
