Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. To clarify:

Christianity began to become popular but this threatened the polytheistic religions in the Roman Empire. Christianity was **persecuted** by the Roman Empire and its followers were **persecuted** for their beliefs.

So, the correct completion would be "banned" for the first blank (indicating that Christianity was often prohibited) and "persecuted" for the second blank (indicating that followers faced discrimination and violence). Thank you for your patience!
