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.
What is most likely the writer's purpose?
to emphasize the tension between Bilbo and his
relatives
to reveal more about Frodo's relationship with Bilbo
to convey the message that generosity strengthens
relationships
to create an upbeat and celebratory mood

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
