Here are the correct answers for each blank in the UNICEF mental health survey text:

36a. Answer: C. ❑ provate

"...capire quali sono le loro sensazioni ed emozioni provate nell'ultimo periodo"

(to understand their feelings and emotions experienced in recent times)

Why: "Provate" is the past participle (feminine plural) agreeing with "sensazioni ed emozioni." It functions as an adjective meaning "experienced/felt."

---

37a. Answer: B. ❑ rivolto ai

"...l'obiettivo del sondaggio rivolto ai giovani"

(the objective of the survey directed at/aimed at young people)

Why: "Rivolto ai" (past participle + preposition) means "directed at/aimed at." It agrees with "sondaggio" (masculine singular). This is a common expression for targeting a specific audience.

---

38a. Answer: B. ❑ come quello

"...su un tema così importante come quello della salute mentale"

(on such an important topic like that of mental health)

Why: "Come quello" = "like that/such as that." "Quello" is a demonstrative pronoun referring back to "tema" and introducing the specific topic (mental health).

---

39a. Answer: A. ❑ a cercare

"...una certa difficoltà a cercare aiuto"

(a certain difficulty in seeking help)

Why: "Difficoltà a + infinitive" is the standard construction in Italian. The preposition "a" introduces the action that is difficult.

---

40a. Answer: B. ❑ vengono viste

"La famiglia, le scuole e le istituzioni vengono viste però come punti di riferimento"

(Family, schools, and institutions are seen however as reference points)

Why: "Vengono viste" is the passive voice (present tense, plural) meaning "are seen/are viewed." It agrees with the plural subjects and expresses how these institutions are perceived.
