Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
Read the given extracts and answer the questions that follow:
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
Paraphrase: Then the poet took the other road which was as beautiful as the first one. The second road presented a better claim because it was (still) grassy and had not worn off due to walking of the travellers. As far as the question of their being worn due to walking of the travellers, both of them had worn in the same way.
(a) How was the other road?
(b) Why did the second road present a better claim than the first?
(c) What is the rhyme-scheme of the given lines?
(a) The other road was as fair and beautiful as the first one.
(b) The second road presented a better claim as it was still grassy and had not worn off due to walking of travellers.
(c) The rhyme-scheme of these lines is: ab, aa, b.
