Name three major cities in Tennessee besides Nashville.

• A. Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville
• B. Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga
• C. Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga
• D. Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga

Answer: (C)

You’re being asked to name three major cities in Tennessee besides Nashville. Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga are the three largest urban centers after Nashville and play major roles as regional hubs. Memphis sits in the west along the Mississippi River with a rich cultural and economic scene. Knoxville sits in East Tennessee and is home to the University of Tennessee, making it a key university town and regional center. Chattanooga is in the southeast, known for its riverfront, industry heritage, and growing economy. The other options mix in Nashville or leave out one of these major cities, so they don’t meet the requirement of listing three major cities besides Nashville.
