Chance and Choice: Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken"

Question 3 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Which lines from Robert Frost’s "The Road Not Taken” most convey a tone of indecision?

Answer
A
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel both
B
And be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I could
C
Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,
D
I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:

Explanation

The speaker’s indecision is clearest when he says he “long I stood” and carefully looked down one road. These details show him pausing to weigh his options before choosing. Choice B best conveys that hesitation; choice A expresses regret that he cannot travel both roads, but not the act of deliberating as directly.
