When was Big Ben in London built?
1559
1288
1654
1734

None of these answers are correct because the question is assuming the wrong thing.

The first clock tower was built in 1288 but the present one was built in 1835 after the old tower was burnt down. Despite misuse, the name Big Ben applies to the bell inside the tower. This was first cast in 1856 then re-cast after cracking in 1859.
