I also made this mistake. You can find a gondola at Vail, so technically Vail should have worked for this question as well. I think the question needs to be changed to avoid ambiguity.

Nope. HCMC is the largest city in Vietnam but Hà Nội is the capital.

Actually, Ho Chi Min City is formerly Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam before Vietnam was reunited post 1975.

No need to say "Actually" when there's no contradiction...

Actually, prefacing an assertion with the word "actually" doesn't necessarily imply the assertion rebuts a prior claim (even though it is most commonly used in this way).

It's mostly just a lexical marker indicating that the following assertion is purported to be true. It can be used for added information or context, just as much as for contradictory info. 🤷‍♂️

You should accept Varansi. I always thought that was what it was called, even though I see you are right now.

*formerly* called Benares, rather than *also*? Most other Indian names such as Madras or Bombay whose names have moved away from the British Raj are referred to as formerly called

officially, they're former names, but in practice, people still use them all the time.

Being from a non-us-continent I find myself getting annoyed time after time. It can`t possibly be Wien. We`re going for a V here. Those kind slipups seems to repeat themselves. Again and again. And I won`t have it. Enough already.
