PLEASE HELP

Which best describes the main conflict of the novel? A. Bilbo must kill the dragon in order to become a hero. B. The dwarves lack confidence in Bilbo's abilities as a burglar and an adventurer. C. The influences of the Bagginses and the Tooks pull Bilbo in opposite directions. D. Gandalf trusts Bilbo to live up to his expectations.

Answer 1

The answer is B. the entire story is Bilbo fighting a stereotype he has placed on himself about what it means to be a Hobbit. He is always muttering about eggs and bacon and sleeping in his nice warm bed, because deep inside him there is a part of him that wants to be just like other Hobbits and do the sensible thing.
