Go to www.google.com and enter each place's name plus the word population.

I'd choose the one with the largest number of people living there.

Just did it before, and couldn't figure it out, Writeacher. :(

Make sure you include the country's name with the city. Sometimes there are various spellings, too.

Here's what I got when I entered yazard iran population:

Did you check them all and find out your choice is right?

Yazd - 486,152 in 2011
Kars - 73,836 in 2011
Mashad - 2,766,000 in 2011 (2.766 million = 2,766,000)
Galata - 679

Mashad

Right!
