Question

Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better chance,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

What does the poet mean by “just as fair”?

Solution
Verified by Toppr

"Just as fair" means that the other road was as beautiful as the one seen earlier.
