逻辑上的错误吧..
former chairman, former board member

后面没有former，所以前面也要去掉former，不过这题真是奇怪....

是啊~我觉得也是~搞不懂

这是一个逻辑错误，如果用former chair的话，前面应该用不定冠词 a，因为这个board肯定不止一个former chair
所以E选项更符合逻辑

我有个不同意的观点，我们好像不能肯定这个board有几个chair吧，贸然说应该加冠词 a 不大妥当

我觉得应该是因为for 18 consecutive years  和former不符，类似于一个过去式后跟一个段时间不符，而且主句有过去式明显表示他是一个former chair，重复

事情是这样的：这里做了连续18年的职务是chair，不是former chair...

NN何以看出不是前任呢？前任就不可以做18年然后退休？不懂耶

quotes:
Answers with the word "former" are not parallel with board member- you would expect "former chair and former board member".
Also, more importantly adding former changes the meaning of the sentence.
She atteneded (past tense) those meetings and and reviewed those applications as THE chair and/or board member, not as THE "former" chair/board member.

严重同意楼上的nn的观点
