Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: The speaker of this poem is not unhappy with his choice, and wonders where the other path, the road he did not take, would have led him. He thinks about a future time when he will look back at his decision with a sigh of regret as he thinks of the opportunities he may have lost by not taking the other road.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stanza One-The poet has come to a point on his walk where the path he is on has forked into two paths. It is likely autumn when he is on his walk, as the leaves on the trees are turning yellow. He is only one person, and therefore can only take one of the two paths.

Detailed explanation-4: -In this line, the speaker sums up his story and tells us that he took the road less traveled by. With the hesitation in the line before, this declaration could be triumphant – or regretful. Also, remember it wasn’t exactly clear that the road our speaker took was the one that was less traveled.
