What does Thorin wear to distinguish himself from the other dwarves?
Gandalf was not a dwarf, so he would never be mistaken for one. He had a large pointy hat, rather than a hood like the dwarves wore. And his staff was another difference, in addition to being almost twice as tall as a dwarf.
In 'The Hobbit' what do they take from trolls' trash?
They take weapons, Gandalf and Thorin get their elven made swards and Bilbo finds his sword Sting. They also take the gold and silver the trolls had stolen and buried it, later on the return trip Bilbo and Gandalf retrieve it.
Why doesn't Gandalf think Thorin believes that Thorin is being a good King Under the Mountain in the hobbit?
Yes, the narrator says that Gandalf “had not expected this sudden assault,” but he tells the others that it “has come more swiftly than I guessed,” and knows who is leading the attack. (It’s interesting the way the narrator resolutely refuses to claim knowledge of Gandalf’s thoughts, saying things like “How much Gandalf knew cannot be said.”) So since he knew that goblins and wargs were on their way, you would think he might want to tell them earlier and suggest that they should wait on fighting each other lest they do all the goblins’ work for them, yeah? As it is, Gandalf’s “jump in front of charging dwarves” solution is very dramatic but not very sensible. Moving back to the start of the chapter, I again thought Gandalf’s actions were suboptimal. Yes, he was able to keep Thorin from throwing Bilbo over the wall, but what if Thorin’s first reaction had been to stab Bilbo in the neck? Hard for even magic to deal with that. One possibly better option would have been for Gandalf to do the talking from the start. He might have had a better chance at snapping Thorin out of it—he certainly couldn’t do worse than Bard, who backs Thorin into a corner when he asks, “Is there then nothing for which you would yield any of your gold?”, before revealing the Arkenstone, and then fuels Thorin’s anger by not answering Thorin’s question about how they got the Arkenstone. Of course, Gandalf seems to be acting in agreement with Bard, holding up the Arkenstone right on cue, so maybe he wouldn’t have been a better choice.
In The Hobbit what did the group find in trolls' cave?
They each took a sword. Thorin took Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver in the ancient tongue of Gondolin, known to the goblins as Biter. Gandalf had Glamdring, Foe-hammer known to the goblins as Beater.
What does Thorin use to distinguish himself from the other dwarfs?
The biggest indicator was a large gold chain that he wore. Most would recognize him as leader based on the deference shown him by the others. His general demeanor was also a clear indicator.
Why did Gandalf decide on the use of a burglar in his plans?

Why didn't Thorin want the elvenking to know about his quest?
The reason why Thorin didn't want the elvenking to know about their quest is because the wood-land elves are selfish and love gold, the dwarves are trying to get their gold back, but if the elves find out, they will want to help them, but get some of their treasure!

What did Gandalf and Bilbo dig up in Chapter 18?
