C解析试题分析：句意：乘客由于前面的交通被阻挡在路上。hold out坚持；hold back隐瞒； hold up阻隔，阻挡；hold on继续。根据句意故选C。考点：考查动词短语辨析。
点评：本题难度适中。动词短语是近几年高考的热点，不仅在单选还会出现在完形和短文改错中，主要考查对短语的意义和用法的掌握，同时要求考生正确理解语境。这里主要考查hold与不同的副词构成的动词短语。即学即练：He ______ to a branch until we came to his rescue. A. held out B. held back C. held up D. held on解析：D。句意：他抓住一根树枝，直到我们把他救下来。
