\stopping by woods on a snowy evening\ by robert frost
1 whose woods these are i think i know.
his house is in the village, though;
he will not see me stopping here
to watch his woods fill up with snow.
5 my little horse must think it queer
to stop without a farmhouse near
between the woods and frozen lake
the darkest evening of the year.
10 he gives his harness bells a shake
to ask if there is some mistake.
the only other sounds the sweep
of easy wind and downy flake.
15 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

1. what is one thing that pulls the speaker of the poem away from the woods? (1)

a the freezing, harsh wind
b the cold, snowy weather
c the darkness of the evening
d promises the speaker needs to keep

Explanation:

The speaker is drawn to the woods but ultimately pulls away because they acknowledge they have commitments to fulfill, as stated in the final lines of the poem: "But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep." The other options describe elements of the setting that do not drive the speaker to leave.

Answer:

D. promises the speaker needs to keep
