choose 1 answer:
a no change
b fans praised c.b. wells when he cancelled his book tour to spend time with his newborn daughter.
c the birth of c.b. wells daughter led fans to praise him when he cancelled his book tour to spend time with her.
d c.b. wells decision to cancel his book tour to spend time with his newborn daughter was praised by his fans.

Explanation:

The original sentence has a dangling modifier. The phrase “Disappointed but understanding” should logically modify C.B. Wells, not “C.B. Wells' book tour”. Option B corrects this by re - structuring the sentence so that the subject of the main clause (C.B. Wells) is properly related to the introductory phrase.

Answer:

B. fans praised C.B. Wells when he cancelled his book tour to spend time with his newborn daughter.
