Which two statements correctly describe the effect of repetition in the last stanza of robert frost's "stopping by woods on a snowy evening"? 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.

this sentence best reflects the use of repetition. in the last stanza of this poem, the first line “and miles to go before i sleep” is likely to be read literally. the speaker is travelling some distance in a horse-drawn sleigh and still have some distance before he arrives to his bed. the repetition suggests that the speaker thinks he still has a long life ahead of him with many things to be done before he died, meaning death like a sleep. it does not reflect his desire to die, he is just saying that some day he will die, as a normal mortal human being. in a figurative way, he is saying he has a lot of distance before he gets to death.
