GMAT prep的题 请教

不会复制,只好抄一遍打一遍了....PREP的语法把我搞的很伤心....马上要考了....

As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, JP(人名) attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning application.

A. As the former

B. The former

C. Former

D.She was

E. As the

答案E.我当时是在AB里犹豫, As是作为,那么可不可以把前面理解为同位语呢....

谢谢先.

as 有表"做为"的意思. 要比B来的好.

A用了former. 是不是也可以这样理解: 后面的句子用了过去时, 那这里写former就没用了, 肯定是former了. 要是现在还是chair的话,那后面句子就得用has attended或is attending,而不能用过去时了.
