Read these two passages from The Phantom Tollbooth.

Passage 1:

"KILLING TIME!" roared the dog--so furiously that his alarm went off. "It's bad enough wasting time without killing it." And he shuddered at the thought. "Why are you in the Doldrums anyway--don't you have anywhere to go?"

Passage 2:

Milo began to think as hard as he could (which was very difficult, since he wasn't used to it). He thought of birds that swim and fish that fly. He thought of yesterday's lunch and tomorrow's dinner. He thought of words that began with J and numbers that end in 3. And, as he thought, the wheels began to turn.

One similarity between these passages is that the author uses a literary device in both to

illustrate the setting’s bizarreness.
illustrate the characters’ behavior.
create a realistic effect.
create a fantastic effect.

Answer:

illustrate the character's behavior.

Explanation:

'The Phantom Tollbooth' is a fictional novel written by Norton Juster. The novel is about Milo, a young boy who is exhausted with his life and daily going to school.

The literary device used in the given two passages shows similarities by illustrating the two characters of the novel. One is of 'Tock'- the watchdog and other is of 'Milo', the main character.

In first passage, the character is illustrated of Tock who scolds Milo for wasting time. When Milo asserts that he is killing time in Doldrums, Tock rebukes him and says that it is bad to even waste time and he is killing time. Being a watchdog, Tock dislike anyone wasting time.

The second passage illustrates the character of Milo. The passage asserts that it is difficult for Milo to think but he begins to think of something to get out of Doldrums and reach his destination. And, as he begins to think, he reaches to a place where birds swim, fishes fly, numbers walking, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Answer

*something*
