Babylon was conquered numerous times over it 2,000 year history. The
first time was when Babylon was not much more than a village and the
Amorites, under Hammurapi's ancestor Sumuabum, took over at the start of
the 19th century BC. The second time was in the mid-16th century BC
when the Hittites sacked the city and the Kassite peoples subsequently
established a ruling dynasty. Third was when the Elamites briefly took
the city c.1160 BC; followed by the reclaiming of the city's rule within
the sphere of the Sumerian city of Isin and kingdom of Sealand in
Chaldaea. The fourth conquest was by the Assyrians c.810 BC when they
captured the city by diverting the Euphrates to flood the city.This same
flooding technique was used by the Assyrians to reconquer the city
after a brief rebellion c.690 BC. In 612 BC a Chaldaean named
Nabopolassar finally overthrew the Assyrian dominance and in fact ended
the Assyrian Empire. The sixth conquest of Babylon by the Persians in
539 BC was uniquely accomplished by draining the Euphrates and marching
the Persian forces up the dried up river bed to the unfortified banks
where the river course ran right through the heart of the city. The last
major conquest of Babylon was by Alexander the Great when the city
surrendered to him in October of 331 BC after he had defeated the
Persian army in a previous decisive battle in the plains of norther
Mesopotamia at Gaugamela.

The right answer is D: Mayor-Council. In this form of municipal government a mayor, or executive leader, is elected separately from the council, or legislative leaders. In addition, he or she has important authority in administrative and budgetary issues and, depending on the municipal charter (a document that establishes the municipality), he or she can have very strong powers or more limited ones. Sometimes, municipalities appoint a professional manager, whose administrative authority is more limited. This is one of the most common forms of government. Minneapolis, for instance, is managed through this form of government.
