A: Both "veered" and "deviated" indicate a change from a predicted path or course, but there is a subtle difference in their connotations:

"Veered" has a stronger connotation of a sudden change in direction. It implies that the person or thing being described changed course abruptly and perhaps unexpectedly. For example, "She veered from his prediction" suggests that the woman made a sudden turn away from the predicted path, possibly surprising the person who made the prediction.

"Deviated" has a more neutral connotation and implies a gradual or deliberate change in direction. It suggests that the person or thing being described strayed from the predicted path over time or intentionally. For example, "She deviated from his prediction" suggests that the woman gradually moved away from the predicted path or purposefully made decisions that led her in a different direction.

In summary, "veered" implies a sudden change in direction, while "deviated" implies a more gradual or intentional shift away from a predicted path.
