Answer 1

The sentences that contain an example of contested usage are:

1. "The chair for the chair of the board of directors is at the head of the board table." (Contested usage of "chair" as a gender-neutral term vs. traditional usage of "chairman.")

2. "The postman needs to know who this letter is addressed to so it can be delivered." (Contested usage of "who" vs. "whom.")

(Note: The repetition of the sentences in your response does not change their context, assuming the original intention was to present unique sentences.)
