Frodo is poisoned by a sting from Shelob, the giant spider. Sam stabs Shelob, and grieves over his fallen friend. It is here that Samwise takes the Ring, and orcs take Frodo's body. Of course, he is poisoned, not really dead.
In the movie version, this is told in "The Return of the King". However, this quiz is about the book, not the movie.

25. Who, in 'The Return Of The King', stands at the cracks of Mount Doom and refuses to throw the ring to its fiery demise, giving in fully to its power?

Answer: Frodo

Yes, our poor hero was driven mad by the power of the ring, and almost killed his best friend and most faithful servant because of it. Luckily, he didn't have to worry about it, thanks to Gollum. Gollum attacked Frodo, bit his middle finger off, and was so excited to have 'his precious' back that he lost his balance and threw himself into the fiery pits of Mount Doom, destroying the ring.
