    Solution

    Solution
    "Suppression" is the appropriate word for the first blank. It means the action of putting an end to something by force, in this context, suggesting the forceful control or elimination of certain aspects during colonization. "Guise" is the suitable word for the second blank. It refers to an external appearance or pretense. In the context of the sentence, it conveys the idea that unchecked police powers are often granted in the name of security but may be used for suppression under the pretense or appearance of maintaining security.
