Then Bilbo turned away, and he went by himself, and sat alone wrapped in a blanket, and, whether you believe it or not, he wept until his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. He was a kindly little soul. Indeed it was long before he had the heart to make a joke again. "A mercy it is," he said at last to himself, "that I woke up when I did. I wish Thorin were living, but I am glad that we parted in kindness. You are a fool, Bilbo Baggins, and you made a great mess of that business with the stone; and there was a battle, in spite of all your efforts to buy peace and quiet, but I suppose you can hardly be blamed for that.
Question 1

What is the implied idea in the passage?
Bilbo is grieving but thankful Thorin is gone.
Bilbo is grieving but believes he is not responsible for what happened to the stone.

Bilbo is grieving but is relieved there was no violence.
Question 2
Part B
Which sentence best supports the answer in Part A?
"He was a kindly little soul. Indeed it was long before he had the heart to make a joke again."
"'A mercy it is,' he said at last to himself, 'that I woke up when I did. I wish Thorin were living, but I am glad that we parted in kindness.'"
"Then Bilbo turned away, and he went by himself, and sat alone wrapped in a blanket, and, whether you believe it or not, he wept until his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse."
"You are a fool, Bilbo Baggins, and you made a great mess of that business with the stone; and there was a battle, in spite of all your efforts to buy peace and quiet, but I suppose you can hardly be blamed for that."
Part A: Bilbo is distraught but glad they reached an understanding. Part B: "A mercy it is that I woke up when I did," he finally thought to himself. Thorin should still be alive, but I'm glad we said goodbye politely.
In a number of ethical, theological, social, and legal contexts, mercy means kindness, forgiveness, and benevolence.
Lord, please help me to have a merciful heart so that I can experience all of my neighbor's suffering. I won't turn anyone away from my heart. Even with people who I know will take advantage of my compassion, I will be truthful. I'll quietly endure my own suffering.
What exactly does mercy entail? Mercy is the loving care given to individuals who are suffering, especially while it is possible to punish or hurt them. The medieval Latin term Merced or mercies, which means "price paid," is where the word "mercy" originates. It carries the meaning of kindness, generosity, and forgiveness.

The correct option to combine the sentences 'The South Pole is a point at the southern end of the Earth’s axis' and 'It rests in central Antarctica' is B. 'axis; it'. The semicolon in this case shows equal importance and relationship of the two independent clauses around it.
The sentences 'The South Pole is a point at the southern end of the Earth’s axis. It rests in central Antarctica' is about the location of the South Pole, both geographically and in terms of its relationship to the Earth's axis. When combining these two sentences, we need a conjunction or punctuation mark that effectively links the two ideas without introducing a contradictory relationship. Accordingly, the correct choice to combine the sentences would be option B. 'axis; it' as it clearly connects the two sentences without introducing any change in their meaning. In this context, the semicolon (;) acts as a strong comma and shows equal importance and relationship between the two independent clauses around it.
