参考答案及解析:
1. 将affect改为effect
affect是动词。effect是名词。
2. 将suggests改为 suggesting
这是一个以while引导的从句，其中suggest应该与capturing并列。
3.在fact后面加上that
因为引导同位语从句的关系词不可以省略。
4. 将their改为its
这里its指代单数名词caricature
5. 将century改为复数形式
6. 将was省略
appear是不及物动词，不应用于被动语态。
7. 将his改为their
这里指代复数名词 the caricaturists
8. 将primary改为primarily
primarily在这里做状语，修饰不定式短语
9. 将close改为比较级形式closer
从后面的连词than，可以看出，这里使用了比较状语从句
10. 将amusing改为 amused
主语subject（受攻击的人）和amuse的逻辑关系是动宾关系，应使用过去分词形式。
