Ased on this excerpt from "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost, which statement best summarizes a theme in the poem?

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

A.

Quietness and isolation are tempting.

B.

The route through the woods is too dark to safely travel.

C.

Long trips are very tiring.

D.

The country is a better place to live than the city.

The answer is indeed the first option: quietness and isolation are tempting.

Explanation:

In Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", the speaker longs for some rest. He/she wishes to watch the "woods fill up with snow", that is, to quietly rest from a busy life, doing nothing while the world goes on spinning, while the snow keeps on falling.

However, even though stopping and resting in isolation is a tempting wish, the speaker acknowledges he/she cannot do so. At least, not yet, because "I have promises to keep / And miles to go before I sleep."

A. Quietness and isolation are tempting.
