Explanation

Frodo agrees to let Gollum come for two reasons: 1) he has pity on Gollum, and 2) Gollum can lead them to Mordor. This means that the statement is true.

Boromir dies at the end of the Fellowship of the Ring. This is a significant event in the story as Boromir sacrifices himself to protect Merry and Pippin from the orcs.

5. When Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli meet Gandalf again they don't recognize him and they think that he's Saruman.

Explanation

The given statement is true. When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli meet Gandalf again, they do not recognize him and mistake him for Saruman. This confusion arises because Gandalf has returned as Gandalf the White after his battle with the Balrog in Moria. His transformation into Gandalf the White has changed his appearance and made him more powerful, leading the three characters to initially mistake him for Saruman, who was also a wizard.

Submit
6. Who told Frodo not to use the ring?

Gandalf advised Frodo not to use the ring. Gandalf, being a wise and experienced wizard, understood the power and danger of the ring.

Gandalf's guidance and warning were crucial in ensuring Frodo's safety and the success of their mission to destroy the ring.

The correct answer is "follow the orcs and save Merry and Pippin."

They track the orcs and eventually succeed in saving Merry and Pippin from their captors.
