Question 56 NECO • 2020 • LITERATURE_IN_ENGLISH • objective

Read the following excerpt from Robert Frost's poem \(The Road Not Taken\): "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,\nAnd sorry I could not travel both\nAnd be one traveller,\nLong I stood and looked down one as far as I could\nTo where it bent in the undergrowth;\nThen took the other, as just as fair,\nAnd both that morning equally lay\nin leaf no step had trodden yet." Identify the poetic device employed in the line "And both that morning equally lay" and explain how this device contributes to the poem's overall theme of choice.

Answer Options

A. Metaphor; the roads are likened to life decisions, which misidentifies the device used in the line.
B. Anaphora; the repeated use of 'And' at the start of clauses creates emphasis, but this is not the device present.
Correct Answer C. Parallelism; it stresses the equal appeal of the two roads, reinforcing the theme of indecision in choosing a path.
D. Alliteration; the repeated 'b' sounds draw attention to the setting, though this does not relate to the theme of choice.
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Parallelism; it stresses the equal appeal of the two roads, reinforcing the theme of indecision in choosing a path.
