To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.
(A) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,
(B) For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home,
(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable,
(D) Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home,
(E) Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker,
答案解析如下：(A)To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,
【錯誤】 句子意思：“Paris was her home”和“she remained in France”平行，雖然在語法上沒有明顯錯誤，但一面說“巴黎怎麼怎麼樣”，另一面說“she(Josephine Baker)怎麼怎麼樣”，相比(D)中
“Josephine Baker made……”和“she remained……”的平行結構表意稍遜。
(B)For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home,
【錯誤】 句子意思：見(A)。
(C)Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable,
【錯誤】 簡潔明瞭：“to be an expatriate was fashionable”給讀者“頭重腳輕”的感覺，簡潔性次於(D)中“it was fashionable to be an expatriate”。
(D)Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home,
【正確】 “it was fashionable to be an expatriate”用“it”作形式主語指代後置的“to be an expatriate”，表意簡潔準確。“Josephine Baker made Paris her home”與“she remained in France during the Second World War”邏輯含義上平行，因此合理地用“and”平行在一起。
【大意】 在外派變得時髦的很早以前，Josephine Baker就把巴黎當成了自己的家，並在二戰期間當演員兼抵抗軍的特工。
(E)Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker,
【錯誤】 句子意思：類似地，見(A)。
【最優解題思路推薦】本題對於中國考生有一定難度，因為語法上五個選項均沒有十分明顯的'錯誤，屬於需要根據句意和簡潔性優中選優的題目。
(D)因為語義上更平行——“and”連線的兩個主謂結構均是人做主語，且更具簡潔性——“it was fashionable to be an expatriate”避免了“頭重腳輕”的句式，是五個選項中的最佳表達。
因此選擇(D)。
