(D) She

(E) As the
Answer: E
恩,要看句意.
作为主席18年,但当成员当了28年.本来就有一个前后关系,然后再加上former就很别扭了
确实比较恶心
感觉如果是former的话,应该有很多任,不用the,而用a吧
不过我不同意用了former就要用完成时的说法,用了former也能用过去时.
As the former chair ......for 18 years...., Joan P. attended ....
As the chair.......for 18 years...., Joan P. attended....
这下就清楚了吧:
第一句是说Joan已经作former主席作了18年,当时以former主席的身份参加了。。。;第二句说Joan做主席做了18年,当时以主席的身份参加了。。。;显然第一句逻辑不清楚,什么叫做前任主席做了18年。。
我觉得这句话的意思里,不能确定,JOAN现在还是不是CHAIR,
他可以先做了10年的董事会成员,然后18年前,做主席,一直做到现在---是现任CHAIR.
他可以先做18年主席,然后做10年成员-----是FORMER。
由于不能确定,所以不能用former
