He was elected as chairman of the college.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. as chairman.
- 'Chairman' indicates a particular position/post that isn't general in terms or meaning. So, it becomes necessary to use a determiner to add towards the meaning of the noun and point forward to the qualifying or defining clause. The correct form would be 'as the chairman'.
