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
Rhetorical construction
This compound sentence (consisting of two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction and) would be most clearly expressed if Josephine Baker were the subject of the first clause since she is the subject of the second clause: Josephine Baker made Paris her home would clearly parallel she remained in France. The adverb clause long ... expatriate is best placed before the main clause.
A To Josephine Baker ... her is redundant and awkward; the subject of the first main clause is Paris rather than Baker
B For Josephine Baker ... her is redundant and
awkward; putting two introductory elements
together before the main clause is awkward
C Inversion of the expected word order in to be
an expatriate was unfashionable is awkward
D Correct. The clearest, most economical order
for this sentence is to put the adverb clause
first, and make Baker the subject of the first
main clause, parallel to she in the second.
E Being is awkward; Baker should be the subject of the first main clause, parallel to she in the second main clause
The correct answer is D.
不明白A B 的Josephine Baker。。。 her 为何是REDUNDANT，即使是REDUNDANT，那为何D又正确？真心谢谢指教！ |
