योग्य शब्दांनी रिकाम्या जागा भरा:
a. They ____ their party leader and voted against his plan.
b. In some ancient societies, kings were ____.

The correct answer is Option B (defied, deified).

Key Points:
• Defy (past: defied): To openly resist, disobey, or refuse to obey an authority or rule (उघडपणे विरोध करणे / अवज्ञा करणे).
• Deify (past: deified): To treat, worship, or revere someone as a god (देवाचा दर्जा देणे / देव मानून पूजा करणे).
• In sentence (a): 'They ____ their party leader and voted against his plan' → Since they opposed their leader and voted against him, 'defied' fits contextually.
• In sentence (b): 'In some ancient societies, kings were ____' → Since kings were worshipped as divine entities, 'deified' fits contextually.
• Therefore, the correct sequence is 'defied, deified' (Option 2).
• Key Takeaway: 'Defy' means to openly resist/disobey, while 'deify' means to worship or treat as a god.
