Which accurately describes battle achievements of Alexander the Great?

Question

He defeated the Roman Empire in Egypt, founded the city of Cairo, and ordered the preservation of King Tutankhamun artifacts.

He defeated the Persian Empire in Egypt and founded the city of Alexandria, a renowned center of learning and culture.

He defeated the Mongolian Empire in Egypt and founded the city of Luxor, a city known for the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings.

He defeated the Islam Empire in Egypt, founded the city of Giza, and constructed the Great Sphinx to go along with the pyramids.

Answer

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".
