Easy
✗ FALSE

Bilbo eventually learned the Ring's true nature when Gandalf revealed its identity and power in The Fellowship of the Ring, so he did come to know its true power.

Easy
✗ FALSE

While Sauron poured much of his power and will into the Ring, Tolkien did not write it as a literal soul fragment. The Horcrux concept is from Harry Potter, not Middle-earth.

✓ TRUE

At the Council of Elrond, Gandalf states that Tom Bombadil would likely not be affected by the Ring—he would neither fade nor become invisible, as he is master of his own domain.

The One Ring was originally a Silmaril before Sauron forged it into his Ring of Power.
