Read “the road not taken” by robert frost. which statement best describes the main idea of the poem? two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
and sorry i could not travel both
and be one traveler, long i stood

and having perhaps the better claim,
because it was grassy and wanted wear;

i took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.
