Across Europe, commercial flight bans were in 【C2】______ in 24 countries, with some closing airports through Monday. Concerns have also been raised that a long period of【C3】______and delays could affect the pace of European economic recovery when it is lagging be- hind that of the United States.
   Given the global links of international air travel, the problems in Europe were beginning to spread chaos 【C4】______.

选项
答案F
解析 空格处填入的词应该与delays“推迟”并列，推测是名词。上一句提到机场关闭，可见这里应该填入与delays意思接近的词。词库中的closures“关闭”可以与delays并列，表示长时间地关闭机场和推迟航班都会影响欧洲经济的复苏速度，因此选F。文章只提到了受火山云的影响机场关闭，pressure“压力”填入句中具体所指并不明确，因此不选。
