Read the last stanza of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.” Why is it significant
that the two roads diverged?
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
from "The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost
A. The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.
B. One of the forks in the road represents the speaker in his youth when he chose a road; the other stands for the speaker "ages and ages hence." The forked road is a metaphor for the many contradictions found in nature.
C. The speaker is relieved that he chose the road of moral living over one of temptation and ruin, which would have come from the other path.
D. The speaker is imagining what it might be like to describe his choice of a life path after he has taken that path to close to its end.

Answer:
I guess the answer is option [C] The speaker is relieved that he chose the road of moral living over one of temptation and ruin, which would have come from the other path.
Explanation: Maybe the poet could have chosen the regular path , the one which is travelled by most travellers. But the poet chose the other path , a different option.
