Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
[1] The American Red Cross was founded in 1881 by the American humanitarian Clara Barton. The American Red Cross acts as a medium of communication between members of the armed forces and their families. It carries on relief to heal suffering caused by flood, fire, and other disasters, and works out measures for preventing such calamities. The organization is directed by a board of governors consisting of 50 people. Its national headquarters is in Washington, D. C. The organization has eight regional offices, about 2200 local chapters, and 44 regional blood centers.
[2] American Red Cross services are organized into several programs. The disaster services program sets up disaster-preparedness plans and, when disaster occurs, provides emergency care for disaster victims and assistance to help people resume normal living. The blood services program is the largest blood donor service in the world. Blood given by volunteers, is collected, processed, and made available to physicians and hospitals for the use of patients. Clinical research is an integral part of the service. In the international services program, members work with international Red Cross organizations in providing supplies, funds, and disaster specialists for relief in major foreign disasters. The American Red Cross has more than 1.5 million volunteers participating in activities that are supported mainly by voluntary contributions through United Way and annual Red Cross campaigns.
