Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text mentions that on the eve of the party (Wednesday), the weather clouded over and anxiety was high. On the day of the party (Thursday), the sun came out and the fun began. It also says that practically everybody living near was invited. Analyzing the options, the key - setting related information is about the weather on the day of the party. The community's anxiety is more about the event rather than a setting detail. The number of invited neighbors is not about the setting. And it's not just Bilbo concerned with the weather.

Answer:

The weather is cloudy on the day of the party.
