\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. based on the first stanza only, what can you conclude? (1)

a the woods are far away from the village
b the woods are near some houses.
c the owner of the woods is friends with the speaker of the poem
d the speaker of the poem does not like the owner of the woods.

Explanation:

The first stanza states the woods owner's house is in the village, so the woods are near that village (ruling out A). No mention of friendship (ruling out C) or dislike of the owner (ruling out D). The line confirms the woods are close to inhabited houses.

Answer:

B. The woods are near some houses.
