Detailed explanation-1: -ANS-The poet takes side with those who believe that the world will be destroyed by fire. Frost connects fire with desire. According to the poet, desire is powerful and would be a quick end. Moreover, the fact that he has had personal experience with desire leads him to first conclude that the world will end in fire.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the poet, the world will end due to the ‘fire’, which symbolises desire. So, the correct option is B.
Detailed explanation-3: -The poet thinks about the end of the world that people think fire is the main cause of destruction. But by the end of the poem he says that both Fire and Ice are equally destructive. Both have the same power of causing destruction.
Detailed explanation-4: -As for me, I agree with those who say that the world will end with fire. But ice is also destructive and can cause the end of the world as well. Both desire and hatred can cause the end of the world, but for ice, it will take perishing twice.
Detailed explanation-5: -Some people think that world will end in fire because “fire” stands for hatred, conflict, fury, avarice and greed. Here the the poet is ironically taunting over to the people who conflict, people who have hatred for each other, people who have too much of greed etc.
