Then the weather clouded over. That was on Wednesday the eve of the Party.

Then the weather clouded over. That was on Wednesday the eve of the Party. Anxiety was intense. Then Thursday, September the 22nd, actually dawned. The sun got up, the clouds vanished, flags were unfurled and the fun began. Bilbo Baggins called it a party, but it was really a variety of entertainments rolled into one. Practically everybody living near was invited. A very few were overlooked by accident, but as they turned up all the same, that did not matter. What do readers learn about the setting in this excerpt? The weather is cloudy on the day of the party. The community anxiously awaits the gathering. Only a few neighbors are invited to the party. Only Bilbo is concerned with the weather.

Readers learn that the community anxiously awaits the gathering when it comes to the setting in the excerpt, as is explained below. (option B)

What is setting?

We can define setting is the context in which a story takes place. Setting includes everything that surrounds the characters:

  • The place
  • The time
  • The society
  • The weather

After reading the passage, we can eliminate option A because we learn the clouds disappear on the day of the party. We can also eliminate option C because a lot of people were invited. We can eliminate option D because all are worried about the weather before the party.

The correct answer is option B. We clearly learn from the excerpt that the community anxiously awaits the gathering when it says, "Anxiety was intense."

How long are fixed verse poem lines
Solution 1

Fixed verse forms are a kind of template or formula that poetry can be composed in. The opposite of Fixed verse is Free verse poetry, which by design has little or no pre-established guidelines.

The various poetic forms, such as meter, rhyme scheme, and stanzas guide and limit a poet's choices when composing poetry. A fixed verse form combines one or more of these limitations into a larger form.

A form usually demands strict adherence to the established guidelines that to some poets may seem stifling, while other poets view the rigid structure as a challenge to be innovative and creative while staying within the guidelines.
