A red herring is when irrelevant topics are introduced into a situation in order to divert the attention of the listeners from the real issue. In the case of a detective story, red herring typically functions when it serves as a false clue in the plot. The correct answer is option d.

A central idea of "Stopping by Woods on Snowy Evening" is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature in the woods.
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The speaker stops to see the snowfall in the woods but knows his responsibilities won't allow him to stay long.

Explanation:

The poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost is a poem where the speaker is in a dilemma between his duty and what he wants to do. Stuck between admiring the snowy woods and his duty living in society places him in a contrasting position.

While the central idea of the poem is that the speaker wants to admire the beauty of nature, he also acknowledges that it is <em>"queer"</em> even for his horse to stop in the middle of the woods. But as a man living in a society, he <em>"ha[s] promises to keep, and miles before [I] sleep"</em>.

And through the presentation of how the speaker stops and admires the snowfall in the woods, he also knows that his responsibilities won't allow him to have this enjoyment/ leisure for a longer duration.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
