A synonym for "to attend" is to participate in 2.

1 to collect: This is the right choice. To gather means to collect or to assemble. For example, "I've collected all the figures and entered them into the database". We also "gather flowers, mushrooms, etc.".
1 to read: This is incorrect. An example of the use of to "read" is "I read all of Shakespeare's plays in two days." It does not mean the same as to "gather". The verb "to read" is irregular: read/read/read.
1 to hunt: This is not the correct choice. To "hunt" means to "seek" or to "search for". It is usually used in the context of killing animals for sport or food. Example: "It's forbidden to hunt foxes and other wild animals on both public and private land in Britain, but some idiots still do it".
1 to hear: This is not correct. "Hearing" and "gathering" are different actions: one refers to the collection of something, while the other refers to the (audible) perception of it.
2 to participate in: This is the correct response. To "attend" is synonymous with to "participate in", to "take part in", to "be present at" or to "go to". (Don't forget the all important prepositions with these terms!) Example: "I won't be attending the staff barbecue. I've decided to become a vegetarian."
2 to wait for: This is not the right answer. To "wait" is not a synonym of to "attend". To "wait" for someone (or something) means to expect it at a certain place and time and to stay there until it, he, or she arrives. For example: "I've been waiting for you for over half an hour. Where have you been? I thought you were dead!"
2 to meet at: This is incorrect. To "meet at" does not mean the same as to "attend". Let's look at an example of a sentence with to meet at: "I'm going on a blind date tonight. We're meeting at a restaurant. He said he will be holding a pink rose so I'll recognize him!"
2 to launch: This is not the right choice. To launch is not synonymous with to attend. To launch means to establish, to release or to set up. For example: We're going to launch the new website tomorrow'.
