Answer 1

- Bag End is at the top of a hill. — Yes ("toiled up the Hill to Bag End").
- Bag End is close to other hobbit homes. — Yes (hobbits peered out of lamplit doors nearby).

Not supported: Bag End has a beautiful garden; Bag End is a very large house; Bag End looks strange and unusual (the passage describes the waggon as odd-looking, not Bag End).
