Answer 1

1. The poem consists of four stanzas of five lines each. With the rhyme scheme as 'ABAAB'.

2. Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" is set in autumn in the woods. We know that the poem is set in the autumn season as the speaker says "yellow wood." The speaker struggles to make a decision in relation to which road he should take.

3. The poem's theme is making choices in life. The traveller chooses the second path with the intention of travelling the first one. Later he regrets it and no, he doesn't give good reasons for the decision he chose.

4. No, the poet does not believe that he would ever be able to return to the first road. He is fully aware that one road leads on to another and that still to another.

5. The “sigh” mentioned in line 16 of the poem is a sigh of regret.The fact that the speaker is still thinking about the road not taken would be a sign of regret. He is still thinking about the other road--the road he didn't take. Two roads diverged in a wood and the speaker could not take both roads. From the very beginning, the speaker states that he is sorry he could not travel both roads

6. Robert frost decided to call his poem 'Road not taken' because the road he travelled by was not used much and wanted wear. He did not call name it something like 'Road I took' because he took the road which was less travelled by and that had made all the difference.

7. It could be the kind of choice that one makes in life.

=>Deciding between a common stream that most of the people chose and the one that you are passionate about.

=>Deciding to be unique and find ways to build your career when others follow a traditional method of getting good grades and finding a job.
