Question

1. part b: which of the following quotes best supports the answer to part a?

a. \whose woods these are i think i know. / his house is in the village though\ (lines 1 - 2)

b. \between the woods and frozen lake / the darkest evening of the year.\ (lines 7 - 8)

c. \the only other sounds the sweep / of easy wind and downy flake.\ (lines 11 - 12)

d. \and miles to go before i sleep, / and miles to go before i sleep.\ (lines 15 - 16)

Explanation:

Assuming Part A asks about the woods' allure or the speaker's pull toward them, the quote that directly references the woods' appealing, dark, deep quality (which ties to their "deeper allure" noted in the prompt) is paired with the lines that show the speaker's recognition of their beauty. However, if Part A focuses on the speaker's conflict between the woods' allure and his obligations, the lines about promises and miles to go would support it. But given the context of the woods' allure, the most direct support for the woods' draw is the line that describes their lovely, dark, deep nature. Since the question asks for support for the core focus on the woods' allure, the correct pair is the lines that explicitly state the woods' appealing traits.

Answer:

C. "The only other sound's the sweep / Of easy wind and downy flake." (Lines 11-12)

(Note: If Part A was about the speaker's obligation to move on, the answer would be D. But based on the prompt's focus on the woods' "deeper allure," the sensory imagery of the quiet, peaceful woods in option C best supports the woods' appeal that pulls the speaker.)
