Read the excerpt from The Fellowship of the Ring. Then the weather clouded over. That was on Wednesday the eve of the Party. Anxiety was intense. Then Thursday, September the 22nd, actually dawned. The sun got up, the clouds vanished, flags were unfurled and the fun began. Bilbo Baggins called it a party, but it was really a variety of entertainments rolled into one. Practically everybody living near was invited. A very few were overlooked by accident, but as they turned up all the same, that did not matter. What do readers learn about the setting in this excerpt?

    From the excerpt we can learn about weather conditions: the weather is described to be cloudy on wednesday, and sunny on thursday.

    We also learn about the inhabitants' weather preference: they did not like the cloudy weather, and did not start the party until next day, when it got sunny.

    Finally, we also learn about the culture of the inhabitants: their parties are more like a collection of enternatining activities instead of a more monolithic activity.

    The setting shows that there was a group of people who were looking forward to a meeting between them.

    Explanation:

    In the excerpt above, we can conclude, through the configuration, that there was a group of people, who were inserted in the same context forming a community. These people were eager to get together, celebrate and talk. They were literally anxious to socialize with each other, hear stories, sing, among other things.
