The founder of the American branch of the Red Cross was Clara Barton,
B.It was Clara Barton founding the American branch of the Red Cross,
C.Clara Barton,who founded the American branch of the Red Cross,she was
D.In founding the American branch of the Red Cross,Clara Barton was
我把underline换成了()
解释是Choice (B) is correct.It avoids the modification error of the original by placing the noun “Clara Barton” next to its appositive,“a nurse...battlefield.”

这应该是collegeboard网上7月31日“一天一题”的题目
（Clara Barton founded the American branch of the Red Cross,） a nurse who was sometimes called the “angel of the battlefield.”
A.Clara Barton founded the American branch of the Red Cross,
B.The founder of the American branch of the Red Cross was Clara Barton,
C.It was Clara Barton founding the American branch of the Red Cross,
D.Clara Barton,who founded the American branch of the Red Cross,she was
E.In founding the American branch of the Red Cross,Clara Barton was
可以看到,划线的部分之后并不是一个完整的句子,说明它起到一个补充说明划线句子中某个成分的作用（所以是appositive,中文叫作“同位语”）.通过从句所修饰（modify）的部分a nurse可见,补充说明的是一个人,故只能选B.
A不是人,是红十字会美国分会；C本身没有It was sb.doing sth.的说法,且后面留的不是人,是红十字会美国分会；D是双主语（看不出来可以去掉中间的从句再看）；E的句式冗杂.
另外,告诉你appositive和modification的意思,再看看该题的英文解释,能看懂了么?
