Based on this excerpt from "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost, which statement best summarizes a theme in the poem?
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
A. Quietness and Isolation are tempting
B. The route through the woods is too dark to safely travel.
C. Long trips are very tiring.
D. The country is a better place to live than the city.

Respuesta :

It is A. He would want to stay because the woods are "lovely" but he kept promises and needs to get back home to sleep.

The answer is A. Quietness and isolation are tempting.

Throughout the poem, Frost describes how tempting the woods are, and how he would like to see the snow fill them up. The darkness lures him in, and he knows there will be no one else there. He knows the owner of those lands has a house in the village, so they won't see him stopping in those "lovely" woods. However, since he is being pulled by his obligations and has to keep his promises, the temptation can't be fulfilled.
