For the second blank, it is quickly evident from the description 'spiritual leaders and workers of miracles' that the rabbis, who are human beings, are being elevated to superhuman positions. Hence, exalt, option D, is correct for the second blank.
The correct choice for the first blank might not be immediately apparent, especially given the presence of both 'precept' and 'branch'. But there is a technical loophole: precept is a prescription or doctrine that may or may not be followed. A branch of a religion, however, has the capability to institute the kind of doctrines or 'human-elevations' it might desire or find fit. Hence, given how it is stated that Hasidism actually does something, branch appears to be the correct answer, or at least the more logical between precept and branch.
