Answer 1

The correct response is that Phoenician sailors traded with other cities in the Mediterranean region. The Phoenicians were renowned seafarers and traders who established extensive trade networks. Their ability to navigate and trade across the Mediterranean allowed them to spread their culture, language, and innovations far beyond their homeland. They did not rely on military conquest to spread their influence; instead, they engaged in commerce, established colonies, and shared their cultural practices with other societies through trade.
