To determine which sentence uses the word "transfixed" correctly in the context of The Phantom Tollbooth, we need to understand the meaning of the word. "Transfixed" means to become motionless or engrossed in something, or to cause someone or something to become motionless or fixated on something.
Now, let's analyze each sentence:
1. "Milo is transfixed by the frightening demons."
In this sentence, Milo is described as being engrossed or fixated on the frightening demons. This usage of "transfixed" is correct in describing someone being captivated by something.
2. "By the end of the play, Milo has transfixed into someone who values time."
In this sentence, the usage of "transfixed" is incorrect. It seems like the word is used incorrectly in place of another term. The correct word choice would be "transformed" or "changed" instead of "transfixed."
3. "Rhyme and Reason were transfixed to the Castle in the air."
In this sentence, the usage of "transfixed" suggests that Rhyme and Reason have become motionless or fixed in place at the Castle in the air. This usage is consistent with the meaning of "transfixed" and is correct.
4. "The mathematician transfixed the numbers from the mine."
In this sentence, the usage of "transfixed" seems inappropriate. It doesn't convey a sense of someone becoming motionless or fixated but rather implies that the mathematician physically collected or extracted the numbers from the mine. A better word choice would be "extracted" or "gathered."
So, the correct sentence where "transfixed" is used appropriately within the context of The Phantom Tollbooth is: "Milo is transfixed by the frightening demons."
