You can usually pass a multiple choice test just by following some simple rules. One of the choices is almost always nonsense. D is nonsense: nobody knows who built the sphinx, and Giza is not a city. C requires a smidgen of knowledge: the Mongolian empire got as far as Turkey, not Egypt. A is nonsense because King Tut was not discovered until 1922. That leaves B, even if you don't know why, but you might notice the strong resemblance between "Alexander" and "Alexandria".
