Thinking about the Poem
I. 1. Where does the traveller find himself? what problem does he face?

(ii) it was grassy and wanted wear.
Answer. Road not used much.
(iii) the passing there.
Answer. The people who used to walk on the roads.
(iv) leaves no step had trodden black.
Answer. Both roads were the same as no one walked on them and turned the leaves on the road black.
(v) how way leads on to way.
Answer. How a person becomes busy in life.
3. Is there any difference between the two roads as the poets describes them:
(i) in stanzas two and three?
(ii) in the last two lines of the poem?
Answer. (i) in stanzas two and three there is not much difference as in the second stanza both the roads were grassy and wanted wear and in the third stanza both the roads were covered with leaves and looked alike.
(ii) Yes there is a lot of difference in the two roads in the last two lines as the poet describes that he took the one less travelled by and that is the difference.
