Question
Think and write in your own words.
If you were in the traveller’s place, which road would you choose? Justify your choice.
Solution
I am a very enthusiastic person and would therefore like to travel through the unknown. I like adventure and would therefore like to explore the uncommon path as the poet did. Challenges are something that helps me judge my capabilities. I would like to venture into the path which has been less travelled and unknown to the rest of the world.
