explain how each of the following affected the speara of new ideas (a)censorship (b)salon?

Answer 1

What is 'speara'? The word does not appear in my dictionary. Is it a typo for 'spread'? And what do you mean by 'salon' - 'an assembly of guests in a fashionable household, esp a gathering of major literary, artistic and political figures from the 17th to early 20th century' or, 'a commercial establishment in which hairdressers, beauticians, etc., carry on their businesses' (both Collins English Dictionary)
