Answers
Answer:According to the poet, the world will end due to the 'fire', which symbolises desire. But if the world had to end twice then it will be due to the hatred symbolised by 'ice'. The poet feels that there is enough hatred in the world that is spreading among the people
[b] . The poet feels people have so much of hatred in their hearts against one another that it is sufficient to freeze the entire planet to death. So, the fire of evil desires and ice of wicked hatred are the two contradictory opinions presented in the poem Fire and Ice by Robert Frost
[c] . when u have desire for anything, u want to achieve it anyhow, and eventually u start fighting and it creates destruction, the word fire in the poem.means desire and that's why poet always favours that one day world will end due to fire beacuse fire i.e desire motivates us to do something which creates .
