Appearing to be the only candidate whose views would be acceptable to its membership, the Youth Canorous finally endorsed George for city council.
A. Appearing to be
B. Seeming to be
C. Because he appeared to be
D. Because he seemed
E. Being
答案选C
请问A是不是错在时态？如果A改成：Appeared to be 的话， 是不是改选它？

A的话有歧义，会让人以为Appearing to be 修饰的是the Youth Canorous
