Question

which of the following lines from \the garden of forking paths\ best supports the interpretation that the labyrinth represents?
in all fiction, when a man is faced with alternatives he chooses one at the expense of the others. in the almost unfathomable tsui pen, he chooses - simultaneously - all of them.
he returned holding in his hand a piece of paper which had once been crimson but which had faded with the passage of time: it was rose colored, tenuous, quadrangular. tsui pens calligraphy was justly famous.
thus i proceeded, while with the eyes of a man already dead, i contemplated the fluctuations of the day which would probably be my last, and watched the diffuse coming of night.
i kept asking myself how a book could be infinite. i could not imagine any other than a cyclic volume, circular. a volume whose last page would be the same as the first and so have the possibility of continuing indefinitely.

Explanation:

The first option discusses the idea of multiple choices in the context of the story's unique narrative, which relates to the concept of the labyrinth representing choices. The other options do not directly touch on the theme of choices.

Answer:

"In all fiction, when a man is faced with alternatives he chooses one at the expense of the others. In the almost unfathomable Ts'ui Pen, he chooses - simultaneously - all of them."
