I went ahead and put the Taj. but the Taj Mahal is NOT a Palace. It is a mausoleum. Shah Jahan built it to bury his wife. He had it built so that he could see it from his room at the Agra Fort. He was then later buried there as well. When you go inside, there are two tombs in the center of the main hall.

I visited it in the late 70's.

The answer to number three is incorrect. The bell is "Big Ben", not the clock. The official name of the clock is The Parliament Tower Clock.
I rated the quiz so-so, because of this, and because the Great Wall is not a monument, and because the Taj Mahal is not a palace.

I missed the first one, I thought the Great Wall of China was too ancient to be one of the Seven NEW Wonders of the World.
Also I wouldn't call it a "monument" It's not in honor of anything, it's to keep the barbarians out.
