The rules of the lottery is that Mr. Summers will read names, and the family heads come up and draw a slip of paper. No one should look at the paper until everyone has drawn.

Tessie Hutchinson and her family joins the crowd.

Arturiano [62]

I think the correct answer would be C. The correct sentence would be that "Florence is inland, not Venice. It is on a peninsula." Option A would not be true based on the statement that was stated above. It was not saying anything about being a city of Italy. Option C would be correct as it compares the two places.<span />
