Answer:

It is possible Swift may have been punished for overtly insulting the monarchy or the Church.

Explanation:

In "Gulliver's Travels," Swift uses satire in order to criticize many institutions of society, including the aristocracy, the Church and the monarchy. However, doing so in his time could have been very dangerous. He could have been punished for overtly insulting the monarchy or the Church. Therefore, Swift uses "masks" to hide the identity of the characters he is criticizing.

What is the meaning of the root word fec?
Murrr4er [49]

The correct answer is C. Do or make

Explanation:

In language, a root word or basic word refers to a word that is used as the base to create more words usually by adding other syllables or letters before or after the rood word which are called prefixes or suffixes. In the case of the root word "fec" this word derives from Latin and means to do or to make. For example in the words "affect" that means to do something to someone or the word "perfect" that describe something that is thoroughly or completely done/ make. Therefore, the meaning of the root word "fec" is to do or make.
