4 крокиThe sentence requires a word that modifies the entire clause 'the actual origin of pasta lies elsewhere!' and introduces it as a contrasting or unexpected fact.
Let's analyze the grammatical function of each option: 'surprise' is a noun; 'surprised' is an adjective (describing a feeling) or past participle; 'surprising' is an adjective (describing something that causes surprise) or present participle; 'surprisingly' is an adverb.
To convey the meaning 'it is surprising that...', an adverb is needed to modify the statement.
Therefore, the adverb 'surprisingly' is the correct choice to express that the fact about pasta's origin is unexpected.
