Keeping in mind the cultural backdrop of the period when Frost wrote this, think about which of the following options best captures the essence of the poem and how it connects to themes of individualism and personal choices in early 20th-century America.

Sometimes in English, we want to say that something is not true or that we don't have something. For example, if I have a pencil and I want to say that I don't have an eraser, I can use a negative form. Look at this sentence: 'I have an apple.' If I don't have an apple, I can change the sentence to the negative form like this: 'I don't have an apple.' Now, imagine you have a dog and you want to say that it's not small. How would you write this in English, using the negative form? Write a complete sentence explaining that your dog is not small. Remember to use the word 'not' in your sentence.
