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 demonstration and the authorities could no longer deny the important role that the trade unions had to play in the【C8】______Canadian democratic society. A few months later, a similar demonstration was organized in Ottawa and passed the house of Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John Macdonald. 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.

E)striking F)mediated G)originally H)perpetual

M)abolish N)parade O)practically [br] 【C7】

选项

答案 B

解析空格在名词词组public support之前，应为形容词或分词，说明外界对罢工游行的态度。本句后部分提到“当局不能再否认工会所扮演的重要角色”，由此可推知外界对罢工游行给予了“大力”支持，故此处选用enormous最合适。
