The question requires that we fill up the blank spaces with the correct words. Find the completed passage below:
- British people have a reputation for being rather quiet and reserved. However, a new study has (1) <u>revealed</u> that Britons are actually quite sociable and the (2) <u>average</u> person claims to have 14 close friends. Although a minority of those questioned (3) <u>admitted</u> that they had no best friend, a quarter said that they had more than 18 close friends. Experts said that this is (4) <u>due</u> to changes in the way people (5) <u>spend</u> their free time. They are now more (6) <u>likely</u> to invite friends to their homes or go out socializing than previous generations. The increasing use of mobile phones and emails has also made it easier to (7) <u>keep up with</u> a greater number of friendships. Men's relationships are not (8) <u>deep</u> though they tend to have more friends. Women, (9) <u>on the other hand</u> prefer to have a small number of friends they can trust (10) <u>t</u><u>o</u><u>tally</u>, and with whom they can feel completely at (11) <u>ease</u>. The idea that people in the north of England are more neighborly than those in the south seems to be backed (12) <u>up</u> by the survey. However, despite having friends, it seems that family still (13) <u>plays</u> an important part in most people's lives. When asked who they would (14) <u>turn</u> to for help if they were ill or had a problem, the majority said that they would (15) <u>call</u> upon a relative first rather than a friend.

Answer:
He questions the tradition of wall-mending.
Explanation:
Answer:
The poem indeed is tricky.
The poem is writtern in first person which again raises a question whether the speaker is the poet himself or a character created for the purpose of the poem.
However the central theme of the poem is about making choices. The narrator comes to a split in the road and wishes to take both. Here the fork, the split signifies the choices that we have to make at some point or the other in our lives. One way looks as if it has been travelled frequently and is safer, easier route to continue. However the other one does not look like it has been frequently used and hence might be problematic.
He ends up by selecting the road less travelled and says that someday he will come back to travel the road not taken. Although he is quite uncertain of that possibility, yet he convinces himself to travel the road less travelled.He says that selecting that road has made all the difference to his life.
So the poet depicts the character of a person as-
Someone who thinks out of the box.
Someone who is renegade or a risk taker. What does not kill you,does not make you stronger.
A person seeking adventure.
Need of a challenge. The longing of the Frost to travel the less visited road demonstrates the need of a challenge in his life.
The philosopher Frost. The way he compares both the roads and feels sorry for the one he could not take. The sentence- ‘has made all the difference to my life’ says it all.
