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
句子结构：As…, Joan Philkill attended… and reviewed…
考点：逻辑表达、句子结构
1、 逻辑表达，注意前后文所表达的意思，在词的含义上是否会有不符合逻辑之处。
2、 句子结构，并列的句子必须有连词连接。
(A) as the former chair… for 18 consecutive years不符合逻辑，而且主语谓语是attended…，如果是former chair，attended…也是不符合逻辑的。
(B) former用错，原因与A选项相同。
(C) 缺少冠词a或the。
(D) 两个句子连接不当，缺少连词；chair前面缺少冠词。
(E) 正确。
上面是prepSC语法笔记中给出的解释。可是我当时做这题时选了A，因为我是看A和E都没有语法上的毛病，就想着要终于原意，然后就选了A。那既然答案给了E，是不是因为题目中没有什么信息反映出是former？有点困惑，请大家指教~
