[讨论]Prep一题

As the former chair for planning board for consecutive 18 years and a member for board for 28 years, Joan attended more than 700 meetings and reviewed more than 400 rezoning applications.

A. As the former

B.The former

C. Former

D. She was

E. As the

答案是E。为什么不用A呢？

小弟认为后用的过去时，用“former”好些。如果用E，我觉得后面用现在完成时好点，表示过去发生并有可能持续下去。
