Detailed explanation-1: -The second road presented a better claim because it was (still) grassy and had not worn off due to walking of the travellers. As far as the question of their being worn due to walking of the travellers, both of them had worn in the same way.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stanza 2: The speaker selects the road that appears at first glance to be less worn and therefore less traveled. This selection suggests that he has an independent spirit and does not wish to follow the crowd. After a moment, he concludes that both roads are about equally worn.
Detailed explanation-3: -He picked the one that was “grassy and wanted wear”. It means that the path he selected was covered in grass and had never been walked before. The poet wanted to experience hardships in life and the joy of reaching the goal after overcoming those hardships.
Detailed explanation-4: -Robert Frost wrote “The Road Not Taken” as a joke for a friend, the poet Edward Thomas. When they went walking together, Thomas was chronically indecisive about which road they ought to take and-in retrospect-often lamented that they should, in fact, have taken the other one.
