Question

Class 9 The Road Not Taken
EXTRACT :
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

1) What is referred to as "it" ?
2) Explain the use of poetic device, metaphor, in the above extract.

Answer 1

Answer:

Exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information about events, settings, characters, or other elements of a work to the audience or readers. 

The given passage explains the events occurred with Tommy like he angrily kicked at the rocks. It sets the background where he wished to have his bike, he remembered some trick rides with his friends. It also sets the background for his sister Rachel where it is explained that she could have driven in her car to get the milk. 

Thus, option A is the correct answer as the passage supports the definition of exposition clearly.
