b. chastise the church for adopting a passive role in the world

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr in this excerpt is calling out the present-day Church for this indecisive stance and passivity in society.

He did this by comparing the early Church and the present Church. In his words, the early Church was active speakers of the truth and an instrument of change, a "thermostat that transformed the mores of society" and not merely a thermometer.

He also pointed to the fact that when the early Church entered a new location, they were soon noticed by the influential "power structures" who sought to convict them as they were agitators but when compared to the present church, they are in stark contrast as they are passive and indecisive in lending their voices to issues in the society and as such the influential members of the society disregard them and continue to perpetrate evil.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."

in the quotation from passage, connie willis states that literature is a way for authors from the past to communicate with readers of today. we can read their stories, books, and other texts to learn lessons about life. willis refers to these lessons as messages “from beyond the grave.” willis has a favorable viewpoint about the timelessness of literature.
