Question

Re-read the final stanza of "The Road Not Taken".

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

How does the shift in the final stanza affect the meaning of the poem?

Question 14 options:

A) The speaker cannot know how both paths end but states that the road less traveled has made all the difference.


B) The speaker emphasizes that the road less traveled is the better choice.


C) The speaker suggests that the road more traveled is the safer choice.


D) The speaker confirms that difficult choices will return positive rewards.

Answer 1

I believe the answer you are looking for is D because of the line "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." may signify that the path was more diffucult to overcome and it will be worth it in the end
