The correct option is ACCEPT IT. To resign means to accept that something unpleasant can not be avoided. From the passage given above, it can be seen that the wife of the character of the passage had just die and the man find it difficult to accept the fact that his wife is gone forever. Thus, resign as used in the passage above means that, the man refuse to accept the fact that his wife is dead.
The best way to persuade these individuals would be the same way that Christian followers have been doing for hundreds of years. This is by explaining to the church that Jesus does not discriminate and loves everyone as we are all God's children. This means that anyone who wants eternal salvation and to gain entrance into God's home is welcomed by the almighty himself. Therefore, there should be no reason to not allow them to be babtized.
