Question

the babylonian king nabopolassar (nah-boh-puh-lah-sehr) helped defeat the assyrian empire. king nabopolassar set up his own empire in babylon. he wanted to make his empire just like the old babylonian empire. historians call his empire the neo-babylonian empire. what does the prefix neo- mean?
best
first
many
new

Explanation:

The text says Nabopolassar wanted his empire like the Old Babylonian Empire, so "neo - " in "Neo - Babylonian" should mean "new" (creating a new empire similar to the old one). Other options don't fit: "best" and "many" are irrelevant, "first" contradicts as it's a new empire, not the first.

Answer:

new
