(a) In the poem, a traveler comes to a fork in the road and needs to decide which way to go to continue his journey. I weigh all the pros and cons and proceed only if I am convinced that I am making the right choice.ħ. While making choices the most important thing for me is to follow my instincts. On most other occasions, however, I preferred to follow the beaten track. Also, I was ready to face the consequences. On all those occasions, however, I stood my ground because I knew that I was making the right choices. I faced opposition from my parents whenever they felt that I was taking unwanted risks. There have been at a least a few occasions in my life when I made risky choices. Have you made choices that are acceptable and less ‘risky’ or have you followed the beaten track? Why?
