Question

identify parts of speech from following paragraph Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north-eastern end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and is often extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well. Big Ben is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009, during which celebratory events took place. The nearest London Underground station is Westminster on the Circle, District and Jubilee lines. Big Ben has become symbol of United Kingdom and London, particularly in visual media. When television or film-maker wishes to indicate generic location in Britain, popular way to do so is to show image of clock tower, often with red double-decker bus or black cab in foreground. Big Ben is focus of New Year celebrations, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome start of year. A main bell, officially known as the Great Bell, is the largest Bell in the tower and part of the Great Clock of Westminster. The bell is better known from the nickname Big Ben. The first bell was transported to the tower on trolley drawn by sixteen horse, with crowds cheering its progress. Unfortunately, it cracked beyond repair while being tested and a replacement had to be made. This was pulled slowly up the two hundred foot belfry, a feat that took 18 hours. This new 2.2 metres tall and 2.9 metres wide bell first chimed initially in July 1859. That September, it too cracked. According to the manager of the foundrys, George Mears, the bell caster had used a hammer more than twice the maximum weight specified
