Answer:
a) 'The other' in the given lines refer to the road which is grassy and had an undergrowth.
b)Grassy means that the road chosen by the poet had grasses on it and not many people had walk through the grassy way, whereas the word wanted tear means that the road with grasses on it was less visible than the other road which bent into the yellow woods and thus wanted to be torn by the people to get visible.
c)Passing means to go through the path.
