Had worn them really about the same,

Dear Student,
Here is your answer:
(a) Why did the poet take the 'other' road?

(b) Explain: 'grassy and wanted wear'.
(c) What does the choice of road tell you about the narrator?

a) the poet took the other road as it was more grassy and less travelled by people.
b) It means that as the road was less travelled, it had more grass than the first road. Also, as it was less travelled, it needed someone to travel on that road.
c) The choice of the road tells us that the narrator was adventurous by nature.
