City name puzzle

You will be shown the start of a city's name; select the letters which complete the name. Beware: there are traps - options which do make a city name, but don't allow the whole quiz to be completed correctly - these are wrong, so you need to plan your tactics carefully.
They are all fairly large cities.

Fun quiz but annoying double option. With Lu i chose saka (capital of Zambia). Of course it also fits with Lu-anda but annoying nonetheless

Thanks for the feedback.

As it says in the instrutions: "Beware: there are traps - options which do make a city name, but don't allow the whole quiz to be completed correctly - these are wrong". Hence, it is a puzzle.

That quiz was difficult with a lot of traps. Guessed Ki-ama and Pan-ama incorrectly.

Oh, I haven't heard of Kiama, so I've learned something there myself!

I got tricked with the Ki- option. Kyiv is the usual spelling of Kiev on Jetpunk, so it didn't occur to me to try that. Like ChaoticV, I tried Kiama (without even thinking; in hindsight, I realised it's not likely you'd include Kiama!)

I suppose that does add an extra complication. Those puzzles can be good to get us thinking, anyway.
