Okay, so from what I can see, there are two words left- which I think are errant and brandishing. Are these the two words we need to look up the definitions for by ourselves?

Does anyone know where the rest of the words are? It is very difficult to complete a vocabulary chart without all of the words.

Look, you guys, check the dictionary entry carefully. The first entry that comes up (at the top of the page) when you search in dictionary websites is sometimes not the word you may be concerned with, but another form of the word – another part of speech.
MANY of you ON TESTS got definitions wrong for words in the past or used the word improperly in a sentence because you were not careful to make sure the definition and part of speech that you studied matched the way it was used in the sentence.
I fixed the entry below so there will be no confusion. You need to check each other from now on.
Transfixion
Part of speech – NOUN
DEFINITION – the quality of something rendered motionless, as with terror
Sentence- “Pitching his voice to penetrate her transfixion,” he said “Hold fast, Amatin. I hear.(Donaldson 28)”
Other Form
transfix (v) – To render motionless, as with terror, amazement, or awe.
