Question from OG
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.
Correct Answer Choice is

Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home,

The word "it" in the answer choice has no antecedent,Can some one please explain,how this can be correct?

Thanks

Yes, this is very rare though. Similar to: It is cold outside.

In my example 'it' clearly refers to the weather.

In this sentence, the 'it' refers the idea of expatriatism being popular.

Again, rare case and really should be avoided by saying 'Long before expatriatism was fashionable'

Jim,

Now it makes sense. Is this the same case for sentences starting with "Being"

Please clarify

Thanks
