Question 28 • Common Core ELA 8 - ELA3008 B-IC
The speaker says he hopes to take the first road another day, but he doubts he will ever return. The phrase “way leads on to way” suggests that one choice leads to others, making it difficult to revisit the original decision. This supports the idea that we cannot always know what might have happened if we had chosen differently; “Because a choice will take us in certain directions, it is not always possible to know what might have been” is the best answer.
