A. 1. What does the word yellow wood indicate?
The words yellow wood indicate that it is autumn and the leaves of the trees are
yellowing and changing colour
2. Why does the speaker feel sorry?
The speaker feels sorry because he had to make a choice between two roads and had to let go of one when he chose to follow the other.
3. What observation did the speaker make about the two roads?
The speaker carefully observed the the two roads. The first was covered with undergrowth which did not allow him to see past the first bend. The second road seemed to be grassier and less worn out. The speaker felt that this made the second road a fairer option to go by. However , later as he started walking further, he realised that the roads were more or
less similar.
4. Did the speaker think of travelling the other road as well? Elucidate from the poem.
The speaker did think of travelling the other road some other day.This is indicated by the line , “ Oh, I kept the first for another day".
5. What would the speaker do "ages and ages hence"?
The speaker believes that “ ages and ages hence", he will be narrating how he took the road less travelled by and how that decision has made all the difference to his life.
Reference to Context Questions:-
B1. a.The speaker is referring to how the other path was as beautiful or pretty as the first one he had seen.
b.The second road had better claim over the first because it seemed to be grassy and less worn out or trodden upon.
c. Immediately after talking about the difference between the paths, the speaker concludes that as he walked further, he found both roads to be more or less similar. This indicates that he was not
very sure about his observations.
2 a. Many years in the future.
b. The speaker will talk about how he had chosen to take the road less travelled by and how
that has made all the difference to his life.
c. Even as the speaker seems to celebrate the decision he took , he is reminded of the other
road/ option he never tried exploring. This has left him with a tinge of regret and hence the sigh.
Think and Answer:-
C 1. a. The two roads stand for the difficult choices or dilemmas that one is often faced with in
life. Justice the speaker had to choose between the two roads, so also many of us have to choose
between two equally fair options.
b. The greater truth that the speaker wishes to highlight is that it is important for us to arrive
at decisions and not be afraid to explore the more unconventional options in life. And once we have
made our choices, we should not look back and regret them.
