Excellent question — let’s look closely at 11a to make sure it truly fits.
🔹 Original sentence:
Scoprite l’opportunità unica di un Carnevale a Venezia -11a- il nostro articolo;
se deciderete di parteciparvi…
🔹 Options for 11a:
A. leggendo → by reading
B. scrivendo → by writing
C. analizzando → by analyzing
🔹 Grammar and meaning check:
-
The verb scoprire (to discover) here means “Find out / Discover the unique opportunity of a Carnival in Venice…”
-
The next phrase il nostro articolo means our article.
-
So the logical meaning is:
“Discover the unique opportunity of a Carnival in Venice by reading our article.”
✅ Therefore the correct gerund is leggendo (from leggere → to read), not scrivendo (to write).
✅ Correct answer:
11a = A. leggendo
💬 Translation:
“Discover the unique opportunity of a Carnival in Venice by reading our article…”
So, to correct the table:
| Blank | Correct Answer | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 11a | ✅ A. leggendo | by reading |

Good catch, Spyros — and great question 👏
Here’s exactly what happened and why that slip occurred:
🧩 1. The sentence is slightly tricky in structure
“Scoprite l’opportunità unica di un Carnevale a Venezia ___ il nostro articolo…”
At a glance, the brain sees “Scoprite… il nostro articolo” and may subconsciously associate scrivere (to write) or descrivere (to describe), because the phrase “il nostro articolo” can also sound like “our written article.”
So, without focusing on the gerund construction (“by doing something”), it’s easy to momentarily interpret it as something related to the article itself, not the reader’s action.
🧩 2. Grammatically, though, only “leggendo” fits
The gerund here expresses the means by which the reader discovers something:
→ Scoprite … leggendo il nostro articolo
→ “Discover … by reading our article.”
“Scrivendo” (by writing) would only fit if the subject were the writer, not the reader.
But the command “Scoprite” (you, plural, discover) clearly addresses readers, not authors.
🧩 3. So the initial choice (“scrivendo”) was a semantic oversight
It was a plausible verb connected to “articolo,” but grammatically mismatched with “Scoprite.” Once the sentence is parsed carefully, leggendo becomes the only correct and logical answer.
✅ Final correction summary:
Scoprite l’opportunità unica di un Carnevale a Venezia leggendo il nostro articolo.
“Discover the unique opportunity of a Carnival in Venice by reading our article.”
