2. "install" means to put in place, and "ensconce" can mean to settle comfortably (which implies being put in a place). "pillage" is to loot, and "disconcert" is to disturb.
3. "autonomy" and "sovereignty" both relate to independence. "composure" is calmness, and "efficacy" is effectiveness.
4. "bondage", "servitude" and "thrall - dom" are all related to slavery. "autonomy" is about independence, the opposite of slavery.
