Answer 1

The correct statement about the biblical role of deacons is:

b. they deal with a variety of issues so the pastor can focus on their duties.

In the New Testament, particularly in Acts 6, deacons are appointed to assist with practical needs in the church, allowing the apostles to focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word. They do not exercise authority over the pastor, oversee the church, or have a requirement to regularly preach or teach.
