Question 9 • RAIL NCAA OC English IV B 2027

Which line best helps readers identify the community spirit of Hobbiton?

Answer
A
“Run away now!” said Gandalf. “You will get plenty when the time comes.” Then he disappeared inside with Bilbo, and the door was shut.
B
From the time of Gandalf’s arrival he remained hidden from view.
C
A special entrance was cut into the bank leading to the road, and wide steps and a large white gate were built there.
D
People became enthusiastic; and they began to tick off the days on the calendar; and they watched eagerly for the postman, hoping for invitations.

Explanation

Choice D best shows Hobbiton’s community spirit because it describes many people sharing the same excitement and eagerly hoping to be invited. Their enthusiasm and anticipation suggest a lively community looking forward to celebrating together. The other lines focus on Gandalf or a building detail rather than how the people of Hobbiton feel and act as a community.
