A. Both roads were covered in yellow leaves.
B. Both roads were wet with dew.
C. Neither road led to a place the speaker wanted to go.
D. Neither road had been walked on yet that morning.
Is the answer D?
Thank you
Yep! :-)
good job
Yes, the correct answer is D. Frost means that neither road had been walked on yet that morning. To arrive at this answer, we need to closely analyze the lines from "The Road Not Taken":
"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black."
In these lines, Frost describes the two roads and their appearance. He mentions that both roads were equally covered in leaves that had not been stepped on, suggesting that neither road had been walked on yet that morning. Therefore, the correct answer is D - neither road had been walked on yet that morning.
