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 Was 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 Barker made Paris her home
(E) Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine Baker.

Can someone help with this. I picked A.

I could eliminate B,C and E.

I have confusion between A and D. This is from OG 12.[/u]

A subject pronoun could refer to the subject of the previous clause if the two clauses are parallel...
so if you want she to refer to the previous clause....then JB should be the subject of the previous clause and not paris...
So, i think we have that only in C and D...D is better than C n you too elimianted C...
:)

HTH!!

I also think that the modifier "to Josephine Baker" is redundant in A with "Paris was her home", because they both seem to just show that it was home "to her". The pronoun situation that adi_800 mentioned is probably more important, but between A and D with nothing else, the modifier in A just doesn't seem to add value so I'd probably prefer D on that basis, too.

Pronoun Issue:

1. A pronoun MUST be parallel with the antecedent.
2. A pronoun MUST have logical reference.

Application:

"and she remained..........." is the second clause. Here, she has been used as the subject of its clause; therefore, she MUST have a parallel and logical reference NOUN.

=> This rule demands that Josephine MUST be used as the subject of its clause.

--> All the options that do not use Josephine as the subject are eliminated. A, B, and E are out because these options did not use Josephine as the subject.

We are now between C and D.

be an expatriate was fashionable is simply awkward. What does this mean is not clear. So, C is out.

Answer is D.

Thanks for posting good question.
