Do you think you know Lord of The Rings?

Questions and Answers

1.

In the film "The Fellowship Of The Ring", the opening lines are read by Gladariel and are:"The world has changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.". In the book, who are these lines read out by?
- A.
  
  Frodo Baggins
- B.
  
  Gandalf
- C.
  
  Saruman
- D.
  
  Treebeard
- E.
  
  King Theoden
Correct Answer
D. Treebeard

Explanation
In the book "The Fellowship of the Ring", the opening lines are not read out by Treebeard. Treebeard is an Ent, a tree-like creature, and does not have a role in the opening lines of the book. Therefore, the correct answer is not Treebeard.

2.

Which of the following people was not one of the "Ringbearers".
- A.
  
  Gandalf
- B.
  
  Gil-Galad
- C.
  
  Samwise Gamgee
- D.
  
  Frodo Baggins
- E.
  
  Saruman
Correct Answer
E. Saruman

Explanation
Saruman was not one of the "Ringbearers" because he never possessed the One Ring. The "Ringbearers" refers to individuals who carried or possessed the One Ring at some point in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth mythology. Gandalf, Gil-Galad, Samwise Gamgee, and Frodo Baggins all had direct contact with the One Ring and were considered "Ringbearers" in different capacities. Saruman, on the other hand, desired the ring but never had possession of it.

Bilbo is Frodo's.....?
- A.
  
  1st Cousin
- B.
  
  2nd Cousin
- C.
  
  3rd Cousin
- D.
  
  Uncle
- E.
  
  1st and 2nd Cousin.
Correct Answer
E. 1st and 2nd Cousin.

Explanation
Bilbo is Frodo's 1st and 2nd cousin. This means that they are related through both their paternal and maternal sides of the family. A 1st cousin is the child of one's aunt or uncle, while a 2nd cousin is the child of one's parent's cousin. Therefore, Bilbo is both Frodo's 1st cousin (as the son of Frodo's aunt or uncle) and 2nd cousin (as the child of Frodo's parent's cousin).

  In the hallows of Minas Tirith.
- D.
  
  In the mines of Moria.
- E.
  
  Under Orthanc.
Correct Answer
D. In the mines of Moria.

Explanation
Balin son of Fundin is buried in the mines of Moria. This is known because in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Fellowship of the Ring," the Fellowship discovers Balin's tomb and the Book of Mazarbul in the Chamber of Mazarbul in Moria. The book reveals that Balin and his companions attempted to reclaim the mines but were ultimately overrun by orcs and Balin was killed.

  A Balrog, The One Ring.
- B.
  
  Pippins Dagger, The One Ring.
- C.
  
  The One Ring, Saruman's Staff.
- D.
  
  Anduril, Frodo's Mithril Coat.
- E.
  
  The Mines Of Moria, Mordor.
Correct Answer
A. A Balrog, The One Ring.

Explanation
Durin's Bane and Isildur's Bane are respectively a Balrog and The One Ring. Durin's Bane refers to the Balrog, a powerful and ancient demonic creature from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth mythology. Isildur's Bane, on the other hand, refers to The One Ring, the central artifact in Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series, which was responsible for corrupting and ultimately destroying Isildur, a crucial character in the story. Both Durin's Bane and Isildur's Bane play significant roles in the narrative and are key elements in the overall plot.

Which of these people do not sail from Middle Earth.
- A.
  
  Arwen
- B.
  
  Sam Gamgee
- C.
  
  Frodo Baggins
- D.
  
  Gimli
- E.
  
  Aragorn
Correct Answer
E. Aragorn

Explanation
Aragorn does not sail from Middle Earth because he is a mortal human and does not possess the immortality or the ability to travel to the Undying Lands like the elves do. The other characters mentioned, such as Arwen, Sam Gamgee, Frodo Baggins, and Gimli, either have elven or magical connections that allow them to sail from Middle Earth or are given special permission to do so. Therefore, Aragorn is the only person in the given list who does not sail from Middle Earth.
