As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, J.P. attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning applications.
a. As the former
b. The former
c. Former
d. She was
e. As the
主句是J.P attended... and reviewed....时态是过去式,JP参加了...并且审查了...,JP当时是作为 (as) the chairman和a board member. 如果用the former chairman, 说明她在attended和reviewed之前就已经不再是chairman了,那么又怎么attended meeting和reviewed applications呢?这不符合逻辑。
