OG25.Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholarshave painted a sketchypicture of the activities of anall-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixthcentury B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin asBona Dea, “the good goddess.”
B) Basingiton various ancient writers accounts, OG解释:the pronoun it does not have a clear reference
OG52To 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.
正确答案 :D) Long before itwas fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home
OG25里 it不可能指代scholars,scholars的宾语a sketchy picture从逻辑和语法上也是it的指代对象
而OG52里,同样句首提到it,往后看JB的宾语Paris, 即it的指代对象
先不管其他的语法错误,我的疑惑是, OG25为什么认为it指代不清, 而OG52就不觉得it指代不清呢?
希望大家能回答我的困惑,谢谢!

OG-52
Manhattan里面有个语法点叫placeholder it
postpone infinitive subjects
Long before itwas fashionable to be an expatriate
本来应该是Long before to be an expatriate was fashionable
不定式在GMAT不能当subject,因此加个it,
Do not look for a noun antecedent for a Placeholder It.
