的确former chair可不是一个官衔，也没有18年的任期！

那么如果我们要用fomer 要怎么才算一个正确的句子呵

why not A? Won't the meaning will change with E?

A is incorrect because "former" is not needed with Joan attended after the coma.


        

Am I right?

E for me too.


        

In this question, the qualifier "former" is redundant because the
question does not focus on "when" (i.e the point in time) she was the
chair. The focus is on the point that when she was chair she attended
400 meetings and ...


        

So as the point in time is not relevant, the qualifier former is unnecessary.

不知道上面这三个老外的对话对大家看待这个former 有没有启发，

qiuzhen28

Please note that the use of the word former cannot be correct here. Why!!

    

because paul attended meetings and reviewed applications not as the former chair. no one attends meetings/reviews applications as former chair. but only if he was the sitting chair at the time the meetings were held.

    

so only choice E conveys that message.

这个老外的解释能不能是终结了
