Step 1: Identify the underlined word 'discoverry' and note the double 'r' is the error. Step 2: Recall the base verb 'discover' and apply the noun suffix '-y' directly: discover + y = discovery. Step 3: Confirm the correct spelling is 'discovery' (one 'r', ending in '-ory').

Correct answer: discovery
