Question

The punishment on Tuesday was a shocking fall from grace for Williams. What does this text mean?

Answer 1

Answer:

This means that Williams lost the approval of a lot of people as a result of his punishment.

Explanation:

This text means that prior to his punishment Wiliams was likely viewed as a good person by many. He was probably loved by them too. So when he was punished as a result of a wrong act done by him, people lost the love they had for him.

If he occupied a position of authority that was to be respected, he still lost it because of the punishment and the fact that he no longer had the approval of the people.
