I

Q.3. Is there any difference between the two roads as the poet describes them
(i) in stanza two and three ?
(ii) in the last two lines of the poem ?

Ans: (i) Instances to the poet explains that the only difference between the two roads was that the road to kiss a better claim because it was covered with grass and was never travelled before; besides this difference both roads not been equally worn down by the passersby travelling on them.
                        In stanza 3 the Poet says that both the roads were equally covered with leaves and that no person had stepped on them.
(ii) In the last two lines of the poem the Poet says that there is a difference between the two roads because he took the road that was less taken by other people. It made all the difference to his journey.


Q.4. What do you think the last two lines of the poem mean? (looking back does the poet regret his choice or accept it).

II

Q.1. Have you ever had to make a difficult choice (or do you think you will have difficult choices to make) ? How will you make the choice (for what reasons) ?
Ans: Everyone has to make a choice in one's life. Life is full of opportunities and options. One can't take up all of them. We have to make a choice out of them. No, I have never had to make a difficult choice till now. I am too young to make an independent choice but after sometime I will also have to make a choice when I face such a situation. I will weigh all the cons of the choice and make a decision. I may even consult my parents and teachers for my decision.


Q.2. After you have made a choice do you always think about what might have been, or do you accept the reality?
Ans: It is human nature to think what is have been if we had selected some other path but it is also a fact that once we choose a path and covers some distance there is no going  back. One think before making a choice we should be determined to move on regretting the choice does not help. Acceptance of reality motivates. I will definitely accept the reality.
