Answers
Answer 1.
Both refers to the roads.
It means that the leaves all over the road and no one had travelled it yet.
The poet wished to come back to travel the first road.
He had a doubt as he didn't know about the ending of the road.
answer 2.
In the poem,the road not taken by Robert Frost, the poet takes a sigh because he realizes something. He sighs when he remembers about the road which he had taken. This road was a long and hard one. ... here lines signify the poet's regret in not being able to travel on the other road.
