Explanation:

• The word "labyrinth" means a place with many confusing paths and passages or something hard to understand. Its synonyms are entanglement, puzzle, web.
• In the first sentence, "map or a compass" are tools for navigation, not related to the meaning of "labyrinth".
• In the second sentence, "jungle of vines, hedges, shrubs, and weeds" can be seen as a complex and confusing place (like a labyrinth).
• In the third sentence, "wilderness" is just a natural area, not directly related to the concept of a labyrinth.
• In the fourth sentence, "maze of pathways, tunnels, and bridges" is similar to a labyrinth as it is a complex structure of paths.

Answer:

• The second sentence: "It would take days to get to the other side of this jungle of vines, hedges, shrubs, and weeds."
• The fourth sentence: "Emma was determined to find the way through this maze of pathways, tunnels, and bridges."
