For this question, choose the option opposite in meaning to the word or phrase in italics.
In the past, anyone who angered the gods would be killed.
pleased
appeased
begged
settled
Explanation
To "anger" someone is to make them feel strong displeasure or hostility. The most direct opposite is to "please" someone, meaning to give them pleasure or satisfaction. However, in a context that relates to the gods, "appeased" is the better answer. Action is taken (like a sacrifice or prayer) to specifically remove that anger and bring the gods back to a neutral or favourable state.
