In this excerpt from "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, which pair of lines casts doubt on the certainty the speaker felt when choosing one path over the other?

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.

    The answer would be found in line 2-4. You can back this up by saying that the reader can be seen hesitating here because he is observing and questioning the two diverging roads, and with these observations, once could infer that he'll ultimately make a decision at the end of the poem.
