Answer 1

The actions by Darius that strengthened the Persian empire by encouraging trade are:

• encouraged the use of coins
• set up express mail delivery
• set up common weights and measures

These actions facilitated commerce and trade across the empire, making transactions easier and more efficient. Expanding the barter economy, on the other hand, would not strengthen trade in the same way as the other measures listed.
