Questions & Answers about Laquelle de ces croisières fait une escale à Rome ?

Why do we use Laquelle instead of Lequel or Lesquelles here?
Lequel and its forms must agree in gender and number with the noun they refer to. Here, we are asking 'which one' out of a group of cruises. Because croisière (cruise) is feminine, and we are asking about just one of them (singular), we use the feminine singular form laquelle.
Why is the verb fait in the singular when the sentence mentions ces croisières in the plural?
The subject of the sentence is the pronoun Laquelle (Which one), not ces croisières (these cruises). Since Laquelle is singular, the verb faire must also be in the singular form: fait.
What does fait une escale mean?
Une escale translates to a 'layover', 'stop', or 'port of call' in travel. In French, ships and planes 'make a stop' using the verb faire (to do/make), so faire une escale is the standard way to say 'to make a layover'.
Why do we say à Rome instead of en Rome?
When talking about being in or going to a city, French almost always uses the preposition à. Prepositions like en and au are typically used for countries, continents, and regions.
