Class 9 eng beehive the road not taken ques: How had they been worn
Answers
Answer:
These roads had been worn by the feet of the people who walked over them.
Answer:
From Frost's poem, the narrator's indecisiveness is apparent and line 10 refers to something that "had worn them really about the same." Having made his decision, the narrator then reconsiders his choice which is based on the fact that the path he has chosen "wanted wear." On reflection, he has to admit that "the passing there" reveals that both paths are equally worn. In other words, line 10 reveals that the path that the narrator does not select has apparently had as much (or as little) wear as the other. So it is the amount of actual use which shows that even though the path he chooses "wanted wear," it is likely that there are as many people who have chosen the one path as have chosen the other. This suggests to the narrator that his choice may have been based on an inaccuracy and his confusion is apparent although he still insists that he has chosen "the one less traveled."
