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

Answer is D and please explain reasoning

IMO, because the second part of the sentence starts with "and she remained" meaning that the subject of the sentence should be Josephine Baker in order for the sentence to make sense.

(a) To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate (subject is Paris)
(b) For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris was her home (subject is Paris)
(c) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashionable (even Josephine Baker is subject, the sentence is not correctly structured)
(d) Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home (Josephine is the subject - clear and correct)

I'm not sure about D; the word "it" looks like it is referring to Josephine.
Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T

I second that. Usually I don't follow any kind of rule for this, but I do check out the non-underlined part to understand the meaning of the sentence.
