Question

Select the correct text in the passage.

Read Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Which stanza suggests that the dark woods symbolize death?

A. Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
B. My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
C. He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
D. 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.

Answer 1

Answer:

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

Explanation:

I chose this one because even the horse thinks that the dark woods mean death because the horse is afraid. Also, the last sentence mentions "The darkest evening of the year.", which kind of shows that the dark woods could be bad.

Answer 2

Answer:

I'm going to say B. Please let me know if I am wrong. Good Luck!
