Detailed explanation-1: -c. “I doubted I should ever look back.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: The fact that one road generally leads to another made the narrator doubt that he should ever come back.
Detailed explanation-3: -He knows how “way leads on to way” – how one road can lead to another, and then another, until you end up very far from where you started. Because of this, he doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to come back and take that other path, as much as he wishes he could.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which inference about the speaker does the second stanza best support? The speaker is influenced by scary stories.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the third stanza, Frost describes the two paths as equal, meaning there is no right or wrong choice. The speaker will claim the choice of road has made all the difference, but in reality, it did not matter because surely something good was missed by taking one path over another.
