Gao was definitely one of the major city because it was the capital of Songhays Empire. Timbuktu and Jenne were the major cities to the songhays because they were cultural and commercial centers that were crucial to the empire.

Correct answer: Algiers

As far as I am concerned Gao was not one of the Songhay Empire's major ones but I bet two answers should be acceptable in this question. I also think that you can include the third option from the scale represented above because Algiers were quite far away on north so they couldn't be the part of the Songhay.
