To determine which cities lie west of 30°E longitude, we need to look at the cities listed:
1. **Smyrna and Ephesus**: Both of these cities are located in western Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and are west of 30°E.
2. **Uruk and Ur**: Both of these ancient cities are located in southern Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), east of 30°E.
3. **Memphis and Thebes**: Memphis is located in the northern part of Egypt, and Thebes is also in Egypt. Both cities are west of 30°E since the majority of Egypt is west of that line.
4. **Catal Huyük and Tarsus**: Catal Huyük is located in central Anatolia, and Tarsus is located in southern Anatolia; both are west of 30°E.
Based on this information:
**Smyrna and Ephesus, Memphis and Thebes, Catal Huyük and Tarsus** are all options that include cities west of 30°E longitude. However, **Uruk and Ur** do not meet this criterion as they are east of 30°E.
So, the correct responses for cities that lie west of 30°E would be:
- Smyrna and Ephesus
- Memphis and Thebes
- Catal Huyük and Tarsus
If you need just one option, **Smyrna and Ephesus** is a clear choice since they are both prominent ancient cities located in western Anatolia.
