While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: 

  • The Sasanian Empire lasted about 400 years (AD 224 to AD 651).
  • The Sasanians controlled an area spanning 1.4 million square miles.
  • This area included present-day Iran and Iraq.
  • The empire’s capital was the ancient city of Ctesiphon.
  • Ctesiphon was located near present-day Baghdad, Iraq.

The student wants to specify the location of Ctesiphon. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
