bosphorus didn’t work for me just now - and btw that’s the generally recognised spelling, so that should be the displayed answer not just a type in. google bosporous and it will ask you if you meant bosphor(o)us

Bosporus shouldn't be accepted, as it's not the Black Sea, but the straits of Istanbul.

Shaanxi is the province of which Xi'An is a part, it shouldn't be required for the answer to that question.

OK, but:

"Most populated city in the world beginning with T": Tokyo

"Most populated city in Asia beginning with T": Tianjin.

Pick one

By city proper, yes, Tianjin is more populated. But you need to specify that, as Tokyo has a much higher metro and urban population than Tianjin.

Either way, Tokyo has a higher population by common sense, (being around 40 million in metro area compared to 11 mil in Tianjin) so it makes more sense to make Tokyo the answer, as Tianjin kinda has an unfair advantage, given that it has no metro area, while Tokyo does.

I am changing the answer as I have found most sources give another city as the answer. It is surprising how different sources differ.

I open World Population Review , click on "World Cities" and there is Tokyo as n.1 with a population 37,435,191. However this site seems a bit strange as that is Tokyo metro area but then they've separated Guangzhou and Shenzen. They also have Chongqing as the 3rd largest city in China and 11th in the world.

Hi 'Lilylee' ...... I can't find one site that agrees with another when it comes to Asia's largest populated city. Some give Urban areas, or metro areas or regional areas, no-one seems to have a basic plan. I will go through them and try to get some agreement.
