The two correct answers are:

1. Their lack of farmland - Phoenicia had limited agricultural resources, making them reliant on imports for food.
2. Their close proximity to the Mediterranean - Phoenicia's location along the Mediterranean Sea made it ideal for trade and maritime activities, leading to a dependency on exports for economic prosperity.
