Hi Tom. Welcome to the site. Delay is just another term for 'echo'. I'm not sure what your assignment is aimed at but I assume they are looking for the use of echo effects in reggae music. If you do a search for that phrase you might have more luck. Incidentally a band called UB40 released an album called 'Signing Off' some years back. There is plenty of echo (delay) on that album and it is basically a reggae-influenced 'pop' album. Think about which instrument has a repeating sound in a reggae track. Hope this helps.
One example http://youtu.be/nOiXWidOtCY Delay on the vocals, guitar, keyboards etc.
Did a quick search on Bing

I'm NOT a pro. I don't do it for money - just for exercise.

The delay / echo effect was used a lot in the dub style of reggae. Lee "Scratch" Perry is well known as a producer who used it and the rhythm section of Sly & Robbie were also famous for it. Implied delay/echo was prominent in reggae with the drummer & bassist playing in triplet patterns (often over the barline) to mimic the delay sound that dj's and producers were getting in their studios.
Ones to listen for:
Lee 'Scratch' Perry
Sly & Robbie
Black Uhuru
King Tubby
The Clash's Sandinista album
"dub" mixes from the 70s and on.
At 1:00 the vocals are "Dubbed" = delayed at 2:30 instruments get "dubbed too"
