Answer 2

The figure of speech in the sentence 'and one traveler, long I stood' is an inversion.

• The above sentence is from Robert Frost's poem 'The Road Not Taken'
• When the usual word order of a sentence is changed, we say that inversion is used.
• In the given sentence, the poet is facing difficulty in choosing a path out of the two options available in front of him.
• The poet has also used metaphor throughout the poem as he is comparing the roads with life decisions.
