OG13 52题正确选项D中it的指代

葵connie

52. To Josephine Baker, Pariswas her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate,

and sheremained in Franceduring the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence

agent for theResistance.                                                            

(A) ToJosephine Baker, Pariswas her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate

(B) ForJosephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home

(C) JosephineBaker made Parisher home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable

(D) Longbefore it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home

(E) Long beforeit was fashionable being an expatriate, Pariswas home to Josephine Baker

我的理解：
D中it作 to be an expatriate的形式主语， Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate为主句的状语
我的疑问：it在主语位置优先指代Josephine Baker ，不符合逻辑

语法太烂了，求指导

it 和iits 是指代对象是不一致的。
it 做形式主语指代后面 possible to move under....
具体的知识点可以参照曼哈顿语法12章 placeholder it 那一节的内容。
its 指代的是steam locomotive。
曼哈顿上讲的关于指代的ambiguous那几条rules，在实际情况中也有违背的时候
可以看看这上面的例子http://forum.chasedream.com/thread-862985-1-1.html
对指代我也不太清楚，都是个人理解了，希望能帮到你
