Read the given extracts and answer the questions that follow:
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves, no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
Paraphrase: Both the roads lay in front of the poet almost in the same condition. They were covered with the fallen leaves. And the leaves had not been blackened by the steps of the walkers. The leaves still lay there uncrushed by the steps. The poet left the first road thinking that he would use it on some other day. When he was doing so, he knew that how one way leads to another. He would go so far from the first road that he doubted if he would ever come back to walk on it.
(a) How did both the roads lie?
(b) Why did the poet leave the first road?
(c) Why did the poet suffer from a doubt?
(a) Both the roads lay there with their leaves and grass not crushed by the steps of the travellers.
(b) The poet left the first road in the hope that he would travel on it on another day.
(c) The poet doubted if he would ever come back to the same place to walk on the road that he had left for another day.
