From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the one that best completes each of the following sentences.
Ahmadu would have arrived earlier but he was.....in heavy traffic

Answer Details

The best option that completes the sentence is "held up." The phrase "held up" means delayed or prevented from continuing a journey or course of action. So in this context, Ahmadu's arrival was delayed by heavy traffic. The other options do not fit the context and meaning of the sentence.
