Question

(2013·石家庄高三二模)—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】选D　句意：“杰克，这是你本周第三次迟到了。”“很抱歉，先生，但我在来这里的路上遇到了长达15分钟的堵车。”be held up“受阻”，符合题意。give up“放弃”；put up“举起；张贴；留宿”；take up“拿起；从事；占据”。
