In the poem 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost, the lines 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both' depict a speaker at a crossroads. This crossroads is symbolic of a choice the speaker must make. In the context of the poem, consider the words 'diverged', 'travel', and 'both'. How do these words change in meaning and part of speech when we transition them from their original form in the poem to related forms such as 'divergence', 'traveller', and 'dual'? Provide an analysis based on your understanding of patterns of word changes.

The transition of words 'diverged', 'travel', and 'both' to 'divergence', 'traveller', and 'dual' does not affect our understanding of the poem.

Changing the words 'diverged', 'travel', and 'both' to 'divergence', 'traveller', and 'dual' simplifies the poem by making the speaker's choice seem less significant.

Changing the words 'diverged', 'travel', and 'both' to 'divergence', 'traveller', and 'dual' deepens our understanding of the poem by shifting our focus and making us think more deeply about the nature of choices, the individuals who make them, and the complexity of the situations in which they are made.

The words 'divergence', 'traveller', and 'dual' make the poem more confusing and obscure the speaker's dilemma.

The change of words 'diverged', 'travel', and 'both' to 'divergence', 'traveller', and 'dual' reduces the complexity of the speaker's situation in the poem.
