Answer 1

The correct responses that describe parts of Richard Nixon's foreign policy are:

1. **Nixon tried to relax Cold War tensions with the Soviet Union.**
2. **Nixon met with many world leaders to improve relations.**

Nixon's policy of détente aimed to reduce tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, and he engaged in diplomacy with leaders around the world to enhance international relations.

The other two statements ("Nixon encouraged Germany to become an active trading partner" and "Nixon pursued an aggressive offensive strategy in Vietnam") do not accurately reflect key components of Nixon's foreign policy. While he did engage economically with West Germany, it was not a central focus of his foreign policy, and his strategy in Vietnam included a combination of withdrawal and Nixon's policy of "Vietnamization," rather than strictly an aggressive offensive approach.
