Seven countries signed a treaty binding each of them to perform specified actons on a ceratin fixed date, with the actions of each conditional on simultaneous action taken by the other countries. Each country was also to notify the six other countries when it had completed its action. The simultaneous -action provision of the treaty leaves open the possibility that (A)the compliance date was subject to postponement ,according to the terms of the treaty. -日期是否变,无关。 (B)one of the countries might not be required to make any changes or take any steps in order to comply with the treaty, whereas all the other countries are so required-不符合,each of them to perform specified action,每个国家都要采取行动 (C)each country might have a well-founded excuse,based on the provision, for its own lack of compliance.-就是说因为每个action都是有前提条件的,而前提条件是其他国家会采取某个行动,而这样的话,就产生了一个死循环,就是没有国家开始的话,这个合约就无法生效,而且每个国家都有理由为自己辩护。 关键是这题的问题,这个provision 会带来的可能后果是什么? (D)the treaty specified that the signal for one of the countries to initiate action was notification by the other countries that they had completed action.-重复原文,无意义。 (E)there was ambiguity with respect to the date after which all actions contemplated in the treaty are to be complete. -完成后的日期无关的。 open for discussion.
