Read the excerpt from The Fellowship of the Ring.
One morning the hobbits woke to find the large field, south of Bilbo’s front door, covered with ropes and poles for tents and pavilions. A special entrance was cut into the bank leading to the road, and wide steps and a large white gate were built there. The three hobbit-families of Bagshot Row, adjoining the field, were intensely interested and generally envied. Old Gaffer Gamgee stopped even pretending to work in his garden.
What do readers learn about the setting in this excerpt?
Hobbits enjoy having birthday parties.
Bilbo has money to spend on a big gathering.
The hobbits live together near a great field.
Gaffer Gamgee is lazy in his garden work.

The hobbits live together near a great field.
The excerpt says there is “the large field, south of Bilbo’s front door” and that “the three hobbit-families of Bagshot Row, adjoining the field…” — showing nearby, shared living. The other choices aren’t directly supported (no mention of a birthday, Bilbo’s wealth is only implied, and Gaffer Gamgee “stopped even pretending to work” shows distraction/interest, not simply that he’s lazy).
