Read the excerpt from The Fellowship of the Ring.
"It would take more than a few days, or weeks, or years, of wandering in the Wild to make
you look like Strider," he answered. "And you would die first, unless you are made of sterner
stuff than you look to be."
Pippin subsided; but Sam was not daunted, and he still eyed Strider dubiously. "How do we
know you are the Strider that Gandalf speaks about?" he demanded. "You never mentioned
Gandalf, till this letter came out. You might be a play-acting spy, for all I can see, trying to
get us to go with you. You might have done in the real Strider and took his clothes. What
have you to say to that?"
Which option provides the most accurate synonym for dubiously as it is used in the excerpt? -

Pippin subsided; but Sam was not daunted, and he still eyed Strider dubiously. "How do we
know you are the Strider that Gandalf speaks about?" he demanded. "You never mentioned
Gandalf, till this letter came out. You might be a play-acting spy, for all I can see, trying to
get us to go with you. You might have done in the real Strider and took his clothes. What
have you to say to that?"
What do the words "Sam was not daunted" mean in the excerpt? -CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
Sam was not intimidated by Strider at all.
Read the excerpt from The Fellowship of the Ring.
He stood up, and seemed suddenly to grow taller. In his eyes gleamed a light, keen and
commanding. Throwing back his cloak, he laid his hand on the hilt of a sword that had hung
concealed by his side. They did not dare to move. Sam sat wide-mouthed staring at him
dumbly.
, "But I am the real Strider, fortunately," he said, looking down at them with his face softened
by a sudden smile. "I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I
will."
There was a long silence. At last Frodo spoke with hesitation. "I believed that you were a
friend before the letter came," he said, "or at least I wished to. You have frightened me
several times tonight, but never in the way that servants of the Enemy would, or so I imagine.
I think one of his spies would—well, seem fairer and feel fouler, if you understand."
Based on the excerpt, which option most effectively -CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Frodo is
observant and thoughtful, and he had already decided to trust Strider based on his intuition.
Which option most clearly describes how the rising action in The Fellowship of the Ring is
used to help establish tone? -CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Frodo and his friends are being
followed by one or more mysterious strangers, which creates suspense and heightens tension.
Which excerpt from The Fellowship of the Ring most accurately shows how a major conflict
of the story is revealed through one of the characters? -CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- A sudden
unreasoning fear of discovery laid hold of Frodo, and he thought of his Ring. He hardly dared
to breathe, and yet the desire to get it out of his pocket became so strong that he began slowly
to move his hand. He felt that he had only to slip it on, and then he would be safe. The advice
of Gandalf seemed absurd. Bilbo had used the Ring. "And I am still in the Shire," he thought,
as his hand touched the chain on which it hung.
In the excerpt from The Fellowship of the Ring, Strider encounters difficulty when trying to
convince the hobbits that they need his help.
Which quotation by Strider most accurately reveals the plot conflict that is set up by Strider's
situation? -CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- "The lesson in caution has been well learned," said
Strider with a grim smile. "But caution is one thing and wavering is another. You will never
get to Rivendell now on your own, and to trust me is your only chance. You must make up
your mind."
Read the lines from the poem "When You Are Old," in which the speaker describes the
woman he loves.
How many loved your moments of glad grace,And loved your beauty with love false or
true;But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
Which options most effectively explain the significance of the phrase "pilgrim soul" in the
lines?
(Select all that apply.) -CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- "Pilgrim soul" refers to a part of the
woman that only the speaker loves.
