Question

A. writing in Latin.
B. disguising their ideas as fiction.
C. putting false covers on their books.
D. supporting a strict class system.

Answer 1

Enlightenment writers sometimes tried to avoid censorship by B. DISGUISING THEIR IDEAS AS FICTION.

During the Enlightenment period, the government and the church officials used the argument that God set up the old order to justify their war on censorship.

Enlightened ideas spread and the government and the church authorities banned books and imprisoned enlightenment thinkers to stop the ideas from spreading.

Enlightenment writers disguise their ideas as fiction to continue spreading their enlightened ideas without impunity.

Answer 2

Enlightenment writers sometimes tried to avoid censorship by B) disguising their ideas as fiction. This means that they would disguise their stories with characters that would represent (for example, the government and the church) but would have different names than the institutions mentioned above.
