Fill in the blanks to complete the tour guide's cheerful speech about the town's historical clock.

This is our famous astronomical clock! Last year, the city hired an expert from abroad to restore it. Even though the clock is over five hundred years old, it still chimes perfectly every hour. Locals are very proud of this magnificent landmark!

Last year, the city hired an expert from abroad to restore it.

Singular professions and types of people require an article in English. Because "expert" starts with a vowel sound, we use "an".

Even though the clock is over five hundred years old, it still chimes perfectly every hour.

In many Slavic languages, the word for clock or watch has a masculine or feminine gender. In English, all machines and objects are gender-neutral and take the pronoun "it".

Locals are very proud of this magnificent landmark!

The correct adjective-preposition combination is "proud of." Direct translations from Slavic languages often mistakenly result in "proud from" or "proud for."
