20. Seven countries signed a treaty binding each of them to perform specified actions on a certain 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
(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.
(C) each country might have a well-founded excuse, based on the provision, for its own lack of compliance
(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
(E) there was ambiguity with respect to the date after which all actions contemplated in the treaty are to be complete.
答案选c，但我没有看明白意思。哪位能说明一下题干的意思！

这题我也有些迷糊
不知是不是这样解释
因为条约约定某一国要开始的时候他一定是要和大家同时开始，（某天的某个时辰）
然后呢，只有当其中一国完成了才会通知其他国家，那么其他国家就会有接口说，我还没有开始呢，因为我又不知道那个已经完成的国家是什么时候开始的

问题应该在第一句上面：

Seven countries signed a treaty binding each of them to perform specified actions on a certain fixed date, with the actions of each conditional on simultaneous action taken by the other countries。七个国家共同约定在某天采取具体的行动。条件是其它国家同时采取相应行动。

这样的话，如果A没行动的，B就有理由不用行动。但是B不行动也可以作为A不行动的理由。应为是simultaneous action. 这样这件事就说不清啦。

明白了，第二句原来是个烟雾弹。谢谢两位了！
