It may not look like much at first glance, but the sutton clock tower is one of the most treasured landmarks in the town of bedford, new york. in the 1880s, a new york city art dealer named james f. sutton built the clock—complete with chimes—in the barn on his bedford estate. according to local legend, sutton's new wife, florence, loved listening to the church bells near her former home in new york city. upon moving to bedford, she missed the bells so much that her husband installed the clock, including a 550-pound bell, to make her happy and less homesick. although a fire destroyed the barn in 1929, the clock and bell miraculously survived. in 1939, a group of bedford residents raised $3,000 (an enormous sum of money back then) to construct a brick tower—a brand-new home for mrs. sutton's clock. now, decades later, bedford residents are still committed to their precious landmark. the clock, which is neither automated nor powered by electricity, must be wound four times a month to keep the proper time. a group of devoted neighbors, better known as "the clock winders," takes turns climbing the tower's ladder to crank the clock by hand, allowing it to keep time for another week and for the bell to chime over the town of bedford, new york. which of the following most accurately paraphrases what is written about the sutton clock tower in this passage? a. the sutton clock tower in bedford, new york is the result of a kind gesture made from a husband to a wife. in the 1880s, a new york city art dealer named james f. sutton built the clock—complete with chimes—in the barn of his bedford estate. to this day, it is wound weekly by devoted townspeople (45). b. built by a wealthy art dealer named james f. sutton, the sutton clock was originally built in mr. sutton's barn on his vast estate in bedford, new york. a fire forced the clock and bell to be moved to the sutton clock tower, a soaring, red-brick building near sutton's former estate, which is where it remains today (tocco). c. art dealer james f. sutton wanted to do something to make his wife, florence, less homesick for new york city. he decided to build a clock, including a 550-pound bell, in the barn of their estate in bedford, new york; the clock and bell stand to this day and are cared for by devoted residents (the sutton clock tower). d. the sutton clock, built by james f. sutton to his wife, was initially housed in sutton's barn in bedford, new york. after a fire, the sutton clock tower was built to house the clock and bell, and residents continue to wind the clock weekly so that the time is correct and the bell continues to chime (tocco 45
