The recent surge in the number of airplane flights has clogged the nation’s air-traffic control system, to lead to 55 percent more delays at airports, and prompts fears among some officials that safety is being compromised.
(A) to lead to 55 percent more delays at airports, and prompts

(C) to lead to a 55 percent increase in delay at airports and prompt

OA:E 对OG上C,E的解释比较疑惑,我把解释贴出来
C:the meaning of 55 percent increase in delay is not clear.
E:the phrase a 55 percent increase in delays is clear and concise
明明在选项里面CE中的这个部分都是a 55 percent increase in delay 只是delay的单复数不一样而已,怎么评价就不一样??!!
题意应该是航班延误率,或延误的航班数量增加,所以才用an increase of 55 percent in delays ,表示一个量的增长 但C中的...a 55 percent increase in delay at airports and prompt. 不清楚,不知道是使航班的延误时间增加了55%, 还是延误的航班数量。且它用的单数,如果可能则只可能指延误时间。而这只对一个航班才比较说得过去的。但可想而知,不太合理。因为既然影响到整个air-traffic系统,那就不止一个航班了,所以.....呵呵~
