WHERE DO THE SLASHES GO IN THE SYLLABLES OF ROBERT FROST'S POEM/THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Look up the words in the dictionary and you will see how they are syllablized.

To determine where the slashes go in the syllables of Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken," you need to follow the rules of syllabication. Syllabication is the process of dividing words into syllables based on their pronunciation. Here's a step-by-step guide to syllabicate the poem:
1. Read the poem aloud: The first step is to read the poem out loud to gain familiarity with the words and their pronunciation.
2. Identify the vowels: Look for vowels in the word. Vowels include the letters 'a,' 'e,' 'i,' 'o,' 'u,' and sometimes 'y' or combinations of letters that create vowel sounds.
3. Divide the word into syllables: Separate the word into individual syllables using the following guidelines:
a) Each syllable should have one vowel sound.
b) If there are multiple consonants between two vowels, they usually belong to the next syllable.
c) If two of the same consonant letters appear consecutively, they usually belong to different syllables.
d) Some common prefixes and suffixes also affect syllabication.
4. Place slashes: Once you have divided the words into syllables, place slashes ("/") between the syllables. Remember, each slash represents the division between two syllables.
For example, let's apply these steps to the first two lines of "The Road Not Taken":
Two roads di- vergedin a wood and I-
I took the one less trav- elled by,
In these lines, each word has been divided into syllables, and slashes have been placed accordingly. Now, you can repeat this process for the rest of the poem to correctly syllabicate the entire text.
