Question

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.​

Answer 1

The major choices in life.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker is thinking back to how their life could have been different, and we see some conflicting emotions about the two paths and the one they ended up walking.

The wood just means forest, the speaker is laying out the scene.

Two roads is pretty self explanatory, we often use the "fork in the path" metaphor when contemplating large choices.
