" A lot of travel delay is caused " in this sentence why we have to use " is caused " ... "is " in presentense and "caused" in past tense.

Behalf can be used when a person is representing a group of people. Please check google.

Please explain 'a lot of travel delay is caused' I thought this was wrong mine answer was 'lots of travel delays are caused' also I didn't notice on behalf what does a lot means and also why delay not delays.

@Manya. I agree with you, it should either be travelling delay or delay in travel.

The distinction is that on behalf of someone means "for someone's benefit" or "representing someone", while on the part of someone can be roughly paraphrased as "by someone".

Before you answer, you just read the sentences 2 to 3 times, then you can easily identify the wrong one.

Instead of 'travel delay','travelling delay' should have been used. Isn't it so?
