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（C）

(E) there was ambiguity with respect to the date after which all actions contemplated in the treaty are to be complete

Why C is the answer? What's the meaning of E? Thanks

1。讨论过，请搜索。关键理解第一句话的状语：WITH。。。。意思为：每个ACTION（ACTIONS中的每一个）以其他国家的同时ACTION为前提。

2。E为：条约中的所有ACTIONS完成的日期不明确

七个国家签署了一个限定性协约，在一个固定的日子去实行一个特殊的行动，这些行动要在其它国家的行动同时进行的前提下。每个国家也要通知其它国家当这个国家完成了这个行动。

大致如此，不准确的地方还请包涵
