Correct answers:
- Some Christians submitted to Roman authorities.
- Some Christians underwent persecution with faith and courage.
Explanation (brief): Early Christians most commonly either tried to live quietly under Roman rule or endured arrest and martyrdom rather than fight. They generally rejected violent reprisals, so "organized armies to assault their persecutors" is not characteristic (though there were rare, later or fringe exceptions). Likewise, while a few individuals sought out martyrdom, saying "some Christians pursued persecution" is misleading as a general response.
