it's landmarks, and I want you to tell me if the following
statements are true or false. First, Nelson's Column in London.
It's made of stone, Tony.

M1: Sorry, Janine – it is in fact true. There are three lions at
the base, Tony.

to the Taj Mahal in Uttar Pradesh, India. Janine, it took 22
years to build.

M1: And… it is true! 2-1. Tony, Shah Jahan built it to remember
his mother.

easy one for you to draw level, Janine. There are three Great
Pyramids of Giza, Egypt.

the largest of the pyramids was for the pharaoh

Janine, you need the next one to stay in the game. The
bridge's colour was chosen so it would be easy to see in
bad weather.
