Answer 1

The reasons because of which we would classify Rome as a good site for a city was because it was located on a large river - A.

Furthermore, Rome was built on seven hills which offered natural protection from invaders.

Another thing was that the climate of Rome was good for growing a variety of crops which allowed for Rome to prosper.
