【答案】
1 將affect改為effect,affect是動詞。effect是名詞。
2 將suggests改為 suggesting,這是一個以while引導的從句，其中suggest應該與capturing并列。
3 在fact后面加上that,因為引導同位語從句的關系詞不可以省略。
4 將their改為its,這里its指代單數(shù)名詞caricature
5 將century改為復數(shù)形式
6 將was省略,appear是不及物動詞，不應用于被動語態(tài)。
7 將his改為their,這里指代復數(shù)名詞 the caricaturists
8 將primary改為primarily,primarily在這里做狀語，修飾不定式短語
9 將close改為比較級形式closer,從后面的連詞than，可以看出，這里使用了比較狀語從句
10 將amusing改為 amused,主語subject（受攻擊的人）和amuse的邏輯關系是動賓關系，應使用過去分詞形式。
