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.
