1. D. Line 1 reveals that “two roads diverged in a yellow wood,” setting the scene on a forest path.
2. B. The speaker is walking through the woods when he comes to a fork in the path.
3. A. Lines 2-5 indicate that the speaker is “sorry he could not travel both” paths, and he takes a while deciding which path to follow (“long I stood”), suggesting a period of indecision.
4. D. Lines 6-12 describe the paths as equal with phrases such as “just as fair, ”Had worn them really about the same,” and “And both that morning equally lay.”
5. A. The poem’s iconic final lines reveal that the speaker’s original impression of the paths has changed in hindsight. Even though they looked the same when he made his decision, he now looks back thinking that he chose the path “less travelled by” (Line 19).
