Canada’ s Labour Day was【C1】______celebrated in the spring but it was moved to the fall after 1894. The origins of Labour Day can be traced back to April 15, 1872, when the Toronto Trades Assembly organized Canada’s first significant【C2】______for worker’s rights.

There was【C7】______public support for the parade and the authorities could no longer deny the important role that the trade unions had to play in the【C8】______Canadian society.

Later in the day, he appeared before the gathering and promised to【C9】______all Canadian laws against trade unions. This happened in the same year and【C10】______led to the founding of the Canadian Labour Congress in 1883.

答案
E
解析
由介词for可知,此处应填名词或动名词。并且这个词在意思上应与下一句criminal conspiracy接近,句意为工人领袖由于要求实行9小时的工作制被政府关押收监,他们的作为在当时被视为犯罪阴谋,故选striking“罢工”。
