No.
The main clause is
erant omnino itinera duo
and the subordinate clause, refering to itinera, is
quibus (itineribus) domo exire poterant
The main clause is
erant omnino itinera duo
and the subordinate clause, refering to itinera, is
quibus (itineribus) domo exire poterant
What is my error?

If the main clause is erant itinera, it cannot mean 'they were able'.
They were completely in the two ways...?

Right -- so what would erant itinera duo mean?
I thin that the sentence would be something like:
Only Two paths were the ones who could exit from the house.
Erant itinera duo: two paths were...

Well, it means 'There were two ways in total (omnino)' ...
How would you translate the sentence eis itineribus domo exire poterant?
How would you translate the sentence eis itineribus domo exire poterant?
These paths could exit from the house.

Nevermind.
Dative
Ablative? Why?
There are too many ways, like instrumental, of origin, of distance, cuase, company
