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

The answer is letter E.

Explanation:

Letter A is incorrect because she didn't achieve those  goals as the former chair,  she achieved when she was an active member of the board.

Letter B is incorrect because there is a long noun modifier  the former chair, modifying another noun, so we have an ambiguity here.

Letter C is incorrect because without the article THE, to refer to a person the sentence loses its meaning. We need the article to identify Joan.

Letter D is incorrect because if we use she was, two independent clauses wil be separated by a comma and this is gramatically incorrect.

Letter E.  Is the correct one because the preposition as can be used to express a time period, which is the intention of the sentence.
