As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, Joan Philkill 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
Answer:E
解释说如果用former修饰chair与谓语attended搭配不符合逻辑。我没有明白这是什么意思。
为什么A选项多个former就不可以了？现在不是不当了嘛，我还觉得更加accurate呢。。。

Joan cannot attend meetings as a "former" chair....

句意说joan在当头儿的时候，参加了很多会。

关键是后面的18 years和28years，当然作为former也可以参会，但用这么长的连续时间形容former就显得逻辑有问题了
