Answer 1

可以参照的基本信息：
①April 27 is a special day in Britain.It's called Take Our Daughters to WorkDay. It was brought to Britain in 1994 from America.
表明，这类活动不是单独某个单位或组织举办，而是孩子到父母所在工作地了解父母的工作状况。
②Mary experienced a day of work 【at her mother's office 信息】. This helped her __41__ her mother's work better. She said that this made her feel more confident about her future.

按照这些信息，这里应该表示【支持】这样的活动，而不是【举办、举行】这样的活动。
祝你开心如意！

Answer 2

虽然 hold 和 support 都有“支持”的含义，但是 hold 表示“在承负压力方面支持住”，其实就是“支撑”；而 support 指“在帮助或鼓励方面给予支持”。本处显然是指后者，不应该是“承受了这项活动压力”

追问

hold 用作举办的意思
很多学校和公司也举办这个活动不行吗

追答

前面已经有了 April 27 is a special day in Britain. It's called Take Our Daughters to WorkDay. It was brought to Britain in 1994 from America. 说明这是一个社会形成的传统节日，并不是由学校或企业任何一方随意择时举办的。由于大前提的约束，因此不能考虑“学校和公司也举办这个活动”。

Answer 3

按文章的意思和理解来说，应该是很多学校和公司支持这个活动，因为它能够使学生在选择工作的时候冷静，更加了解工作的性质，hold 虽有支持的意思，但是作为不及物动词，非常少的使用这个意思。而support这个词做支持的意思就比较广泛了。
