The reference to Neptune in this line of "The Olympic Swimmer." is most likely intended as a mythological allusion.

When refering to Neptune, the author of "The Olympic Swimmer" is alluding  the god of freshwater and the sea in Roman religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto; the brothers presided over the realms of Heaven, the earthly world, and the Underworld. Salacia was his wife.

I'd say the correct answer is D - mythological. Because Neptune is the god of freshwater and the sea in Roman mythology, and he has a counterpart in Greek mythology - Poseidon.

Describe story about a ghost become a human.​
SashulF [63]

Answer:

A ghost story may be any piece of fiction, or drama, that includes a ghost, or simply takes as a premise the possibility of ghosts or characters' belief in them.[1][2] The "ghost" may appear of its own accord or be summoned by magic. Linked to the ghost is the idea of "hauntings", where a supernatural entity is tied to a place, object or person.[1] Ghost stories are commonly examples of ghostlore.

Illustration by James McBryde for M. R. James's story "Oh, Whistle, And I'll Come To You, My Lad".

Colloquially, the term "ghost story" can refer to any kind of scary story. In a narrower sense, the ghost story has been developed as a short story format, within genre fiction. It is a form of supernatural fiction and specifically of weird fiction, and is often a horror story.

While ghost stories are often explicitly meant to be scary, they have been written to serve all sorts of purposes, from comedy to morality tales. Ghosts often appear in the narrative as sentinels or prophets of things to come. Belief in ghosts is found in all cultures around the world, and thus ghost stories may be passed down orally or in written form.[1]

In the first stanza, the speaker has mixed feelings as to which road to take because they seem so similar. He tries to peer down one as far as he can and then considers the other. He finds them both to be about the same but he has to choose.
