Allie wants to use prose on the following verse from the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost...

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But i have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles before I sleep”

 Which answer best shows a form of prose literature?

• On January 10th at 10:30 Pm I went to the deep and dark woods and it was lovely. I have a promise to keep, and 34 miles to go before I sleep.

•  The woods were as pretty as roses though darker than a wolf's mouth. Though I have promises to fulfill, many miles to go before I sleep, and miles before I sleep.

• I look around me at the woods, and they are lovely, Dark and deep. I know I have places I need to be, and promises I need to keep. But if I could, I would stay here a little while longer and enjoy the darkness and the trees.

• Leave as is.
