iii.                 The passing there

iv.                 Leaves no step had trodden black

v.                   How way leads on to way.

Ans- Generally yellow colour is defined to the leaves in the autumn season. Therefore, yellow wood is defined to the forest in the autumn season.

iii. The phrase “the passing there” refers to walking on the road.

iv. Leaves no step had trodden back means there is no foot steps coming back and the yellow fallen leaves were not crushed by any travelers.

3.       Is there any difference between the two roads as the poet describes them:

i.                     In stanzas two and three?

ii.                   In the last two lines of the poem?

Ans-  i. No, there is no difference between the two roads as the poet describes them in stanzas two and three as he says the road he choosed had grass and there was not much used. Otherwise both the roads were same.

ii.                   In the last two lines of the poem talks about the road that was less choosed. And his choice made him different from others.  Here the line also describes about the really life choices where a person has to accept the challenges and take their right decision.
