This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Based on the eBook serial "Under the Tall Pines":
How does the image of “labyrinthine corridors” affect the passage? a) It suggests that Zoë’s job in the video library will be rather complicated. b) It helps convey the idea that the video library is not an easy place to find. c) It suggests that the Tall Pines Film Studios is a big company in a large building. d) It helps convey that the video library is tucked away in the back of the film studio.
Answer: b) It helps convey the idea that the video library is not an easy place to find.
Explanation:
The word "labyrinthine" refers to something complex and confusing, like a labyrinth with its irregular arrangement of passages that make it complicated to find one's way.
In this example, as Zoë is on her first day working at the video library at Tall Pines Film Studios, the use of that word bears her impression of the video library as a place that is not easy to find.
The correct answer is C. a weakness in a central character of high rank and personal quality.
A flaw is some bad characteristic that people have, so it cannot possibly be a strength - therefore, options B and D are incorrect. Tragic flaws are usually about protagonists, main characters, because minor characters are not as important. Tragic flaw is some characteristic of the protagonist that makes him/her do something that will result in a tragedy.
The correct answer choice is D
Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever.
One year ago my family and I went to the homeless shelter in Norwich and donated toys and clothes. It was my birthday and my parents wanted me to donate all of the clothing that I had outgrown as well as toys I no longer played with. I didn’t really mind because the new toys I got for my birthday were better, especially one in particular.
My favorite gift was the Lego Star War Figurine. I really enjoy building Legos, but my mom didn’t want me to start building it while we were in the car because she was worried I’d loose the pieces in the seats. I liked just looking at the box anyway, seeing the clone trooper on great, big, gray walker. It was a challenge not to open the box, but I was able to resist. However, I could picture myself at home building the walker and then finishing and marching around with the clone-riding walker pretending to slay the enemy.
We finally got to the homeless shelter and it was a very sad sight to see. It was kind of dark and gloomy and at first I didn’t even see the people inside. However, when we went further inside, I saw some kids and adults moping around the dark room with frowns on their faces and nothing to do. The sight of their faces was saddening to me and made me feel very pitiful and then I decided to do something I thought I’d never do. I took hold of my Lego set and dropped it right into the donation bin. After I did that, my sadness turned into pride raising my spirits ten fold. I felt like a good and generous kid in this dark place. I felt like I was the sun shining on a bright summer day.
I’ll never forget the feeling of donating my toy to someone who needed it more than I did. As much as I wanted that Lego trooper, his command was needed elsewhere to make some other kid happy. Even though I would have liked to keep the toy, a boy or girl at a homeless shelter would enjoy it five times more than I would. Even if I got another one, I still would donate it for the better cause and let another kid enjoy it because I already have what I need. I will keep donating things because it’s better to give than receive. No law of life is more important in my life than the gift of giving.
