Why did Gandolf choose Bilbo Baggins?
Gandolf choose Bilbo Baggins for two main reasons. The first was because Bilbo had traveled and persevered when other hobbits were home bodies. Bilbo Baggins had discovered the RING which had been lost of ions. The second reason was because Gandolf was, after all, a great wizard and he had great knowledge of the past and some knowledge of the future.
