Certainly, if something is enormous, it may be impossible to avoid. But in the context of the sequence of sentences in the test, "avoiding" the clock would not be an option.
That said, the sentence is not entirely natural; usually, if you've said "You can't miss it!", there's no need to add "because it's enormous", or some similar phrase: that's what "You can't miss it!" already implies.
However, you might hear the sentence in this rearranged form:
1. It's enormous. You can't miss it!

Nonsense, MrP.
A: And how will I recognise it?
B: You can't miss it ,/because it's right on top of the hill/day-glo orange/got a massive sign on the front/right next to the bus station/typical of Venturi/got bells on, etc.
Now, I think we can agree that this sentence is not entirely natural
I say this because we are going to ......... nest weekend. |

| What does 'to be with you on that' mean? I agree with you? | Can't I say like "I am (was) experienced."? |
