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.

Answer 1

Bilbo, a hobbit, is going to be 111.

Explanation: the word "hobbit" names a fictional, mythical creature specific to fantasy, which signals the genre.
