Question

read the extract from the poem road not taken and answer the two questions
I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in woods,and I-
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference

a) what does 'this' in line one refer to
b) the expression somewhere ages and ages hence means?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate,

Your answer is as follows:

a) 'This' refers to the poet's dilemma about choosing one road from the two.

b) Somewhere ages and ages hence … The poet has told us that he encountered two roads – a metaphor, for two important decisions to make – and that he chose the less popular one, “the one less traveled by.” Now, in this conclusion, he anticipates a time in the distant future.
