Which is not a theme in The Hobbit?

A. Friendship is more important than treasure

B. Only the brave will succeed on difficult quests

C. Finding oneself is the greatest journey one can undertake

D. Small creatures can make big differences

B

Explanation:

The idea that only the brave will succeed on difficult quests is not a theme in the Hobbit because the opposite is very nearly true.

The main character, Bilbo Baggins, is not particularly brave and was indeed nearly cowardly in several occasions. Despite not being a brave individual, Bilbo was able to save his companions in several instances and was constantly learning from his mistakes.
