对于前辈们的解释，在这里总结一下:
A Stella Adler was one of the most influential artists in the American theater, who trained several generations of actors including,——"who"紧跟在"theater"后面，被认为"who"更容易修饰"theater"而不是"Stella Adler"
B Stella Adler, one of the most influential artists in the American theater, trained several generations of actors who include —— "who"修饰了"generations"而不是"actors",因为"A of B" 的中心词是"A"(这里指generation)。" ... generations include Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro"  错。同时这里时态应为过去时"included"与前面主句一致而不是一般时"include"。
C Stella Adler was one of the most influential artists in the American theater, training several generations of actors whose ranks included —— "whose"同样修饰"generations"；"several generations' ranks" 指"几代人"根据 Longman词典中的解释
2 the ranks
a) the people who belong to a particular organization or group
in/within ... ranks
There were splits in the party ranks on this issue.
The Democrats now face opposition from within their own ranks.
the ranks of
Most are recruited from the ranks of people who studied Latin and Greek at university.
That summer I left school and  joined the ranks of (= became one of )  the unemployed.

因此" several generations of actors whose ranks included Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro." 应解释为“几代的演员中包括Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro”应为正确选项

只能在abc里面选， a 的定语从句前面是american theater 修饰错误      b who include 错误    c  其实我觉得这里用including 更正确一点

B,D,E都反了同一个错误就是重心转移，
A中who修饰错误，虽然C长的很不像正确答案，但是也说不上来错哪里

回2楼，C中用了whose ranks就不能用Including了，这里included 作谓语用

红尘道士

我也觉得C中的training用的非常牵强
但是B中应该用included过去式

同意3楼的解释，原文重心是说Stella是一个很有影响力的艺术家。但B的话，重心却是Stella 培养一些人。。。

OG没解释么，我觉得是表达更effective的问题，B太多修饰成分

同问！而且C中后面的training....难道是做sb was a actor的伴随状语？？？太诡异了~~同时什么叫做whose ranks?感觉没说完啊~~~

我觉得句子重心是最后才能考虑的事情吧~~不能一看语法题就先从句子重心下手吧？
