Question

Select the correct text in the passage.

Which detail in the text best develops the theme that life presents many choices for us to make?
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and |
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Answer 1

Robert Frost's 'The Road Not Taken' centers on the theme of choices in life, highlighted by the diverging paths in the yellow wood and culminating in the significance of taking the less traveled road.

Step-by-step explanation:

The detail in the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost that best develops the theme that life presents many choices is the line, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood," showing the literal split in the path which represents a choice or decision. Further into the poem, the speaker's decision to take "the one less traveled by" emphasizes the theme of making personal choices that define our lives. Finally, the last lines, "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference," ties back to the overall message that the choices we make, whether they align with others or diverge, are significant in shaping our journey through life.
