In this text, the main idea that King wants to convey is that churches are not fulfilling their duty of threatening unfair power structures. King begins this argument by painting an image of peace and beauty when referring to the churches of the South. This image is supported by the references to "spires pointing heavenward." King most likely begins this section in such a way in order to increase the contrast effect with the rest of the text. In the rest of the text, King accusses the church of being passive and complacent, and of not being brave enough to challenge inequalities. This increases the contrast in the text, as well as emphasizes the main idea that King wants to convey.

Explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence that has the most basic elements every sentence needs: a subject, a verb, and a completed thought. For example, the subject in the first example is ketchup, and the predicate is makes. A completed thought is present, so we can say that that is a complete simple sentence.

A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses connected by a comma, semicolon, or conjunction. The third example consists of two independent clauses:

Hydrogen has weight.
You can't weigh it on an ordinary scale.

These two clauses are connected by the conjunction but. That's why they make up a compound sentence.

Every other example can be analyzed the same way.
