Here is the question and answer choices:

Angelica Baggins had considered not attending the
party, but curiosity got the better of her. When she
arrived, Bilbo himself presented her with a gift, an
intricate gold bracelet. Angelica nodded haughtily at
Bilbo and strolled into the party without so much as a
"thank you." While the other hobbits praised Bilbo's
lavish gifts, Angelica seethed inwardly. The bracelet
was insignificant when compared with the inheritance
that Bilbo planned to bestow on Frodo. Angelica
deserved more-much more.

relatives
O to reveal more about Frodo's relationship with Bilbo
O to convey the message that generosity strengthens
relationships
