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,
答案是D，没有问题，我的问题是A，为什么OG给出的解释是To Josephine Baker … her is redundant and awkward？？？

有道理，谢谢楼上的

嗯，可以这样来理解，Her指代的是Josephine Baker
如果我们把这个指代的内容还原，那么原句变为：
Paris was Josephine Backer's home to Josephine Backer long before ....

所以在这里的her是冗余的

或者可以把不定式修饰语移入主句，将整个句子变为：Paris was home to Josephine Baker long before ....
