It is believed that paul was a martyr. which answer best describes what this means? he accepted persecution rather than deny his beliefs. he sacrificed his life to spread christianity. he died rather than deny his beliefs. he devoted himself to christianity.

  He died rather than deny his beliefs.

Explanation:  The term martyr is characteristic especially for early Christianity, and implies that the followers of Christ's original teachings were more willing to lose their life than deny their Christian faith. Thus, the apostle Paul, as well as many other early Christians, was a martyr, since this dying for the Creed's faith meant a long and painful death on the cross, or cutting off their heads, throwing to lions into the arena, which was all a form of martyrdom death.

Correct answer choice is :

The Acts of Paul, a legendary work written around 160, represents the martyrdom of Paul. According to the Acts of Paul, Nero sentenced Paul to death by execution. Tertullian in his Prescription Against Heretics writes that Paul had a related death to that of John the Baptist, who was executed.

answer: the third option is your answer

explanation:

the progressive era is a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the united states that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.

the movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. by taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. they also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation. at the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.a third theme was building an efficiency movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "taylorism".
