Question

(2013·石家莊高三二模)—Jack, this is the third time that you have been late this week.

—Sorry, sir, but I was ________ for 15 minutes on the way here in the traffic jam.

A．given up B．put up

C．taken up D．held up

 

Answer 1

D

【解析】選D　句意：“杰克，這是你本周第三次遲到了。”“很抱歉，先生，但我在來這里的路上遇到了長達(dá)15分鐘的堵車。”be held up“受阻”，符合題意。give up“放棄”；put up“舉起；張貼；留宿”；take up“拿起；從事；占據(jù)”。
