訳 · Translation

抱く ("to harbor") → "I harbor great hopes for the future."

正解 · Answer

将来に大きな希望を抱いている。

解説 · Why

抱く (いだく) is used figuratively for harboring feelings/thoughts — 希望・不安・疑問をいだく. It is not literal carrying (かかえる) or pouring.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong

コップに水を抱く。 — You pour (つぐ) water, not "harbor" it.

まいにち日本語を抱く。 — For studying use 学ぶ; いだく does not fit.

にもつをりょうてで抱いた。 — For physically carrying luggage use かかえる/持つ; 抱く (いだく) is figurative here.
