Выбрать правильный ответ Big Ben is probably the UK's most famous clock and one of London's (7)known landmarks, sitting on the bank of (8)Thames and forming an important part of the city's skyscape. It's popular both with tourists and locals alike. There is some confusion as to the name Big Ben. Some people use it to refer to the entire clock tower, (9) use the name to refer to just the clock. In fact strictly speaking the name Big Ben applies just to one bell, the largest bell in the clock. However you define it, Big Ben is massive. The tower is 316 foot high. (10)of the four faces of the clock is 23 foot square and the figures are each 4 foot tall. The origin of the name Big Ben is uncertain. Some people have said it (11) about during the parliamentary debate to consider naming the clock - after Sir Benjamin Hall, who was known as "Big Ben". Another possibility is that the name referred to Benjamin Caunt, a heavyweight boxing champion of the time (12) nickname was "Big Ben".
