Question

read the excerpt from the fellowship of the ring.
twelve more years passed. each year the bagginses had given very lively combined birthday-parties at bag end; but now it was understood that something quite exceptional was being planned for that autumn. bilbo was going to be eleventy-one, 111, a rather curious number, and a very respectable age for a hobbit (the old took himself had only reached 130); and frodo was going to be thirty-three, 33, an important number: the date of his \coming of age\. . .
which detail in the excerpt identifies it as fantasy?
○ the bagginses throw extravagant parties.
○ bilbo, a hobbit, is going to be 111.
○ frodo is turning 33 years old.
○ thirty-three is an important number.

Explanation:

Fantasy works feature fictional, non-human beings or impossible traits for real humans. Hobbits are fictional fantasy creatures, and reaching 111 as a "respectable age" (with another hobbit living to 130) is not possible for real humans, marking this as fantasy. The other options involve realistic human behaviors or number symbolism that does not signal fantasy.

Answer:

B. Bilbo, a hobbit, is going to be 111.
