Read these lines from the poem:

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

What is the effect of the word “but” in the second line?

• It makes it seem like the speaker does not actually like the woods much and wants to leave.

• It makes it seem like the speaker can still keep promises while staying by the woods.

• It makes it seem like the promises the speaker has to keep are lovely, dark, and deep.

• It makes it seem like the speaker has to choose between keeping promises and the lovely woods.
