Final answer:
The passage is metaphorical and does not directly answer the question. It appears to reference Fahrenheit 451, where the library would be burned, leaving Montag disturbed and conflicted.
Step-by-step explanation:
The passage speaks metaphorically and does not directly answer the student's question about what happened to the man whose library was "fixed." However, the term "fixed" might refer to an event in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, where books are outlawed and 'fixing' a library would mean burning it. If the man in question is from Fahrenheit 451, he would not be rewarded but punished. The protagonist of the novel, Guy Montag, becomes deeply disturbed and conflicted upon witnessing the destruction of books and the impact it has on their owners, which would align with the last part of the student's question.
