OG(VR) 46

46. 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 her home
(C) Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashions
(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 I Baker

A To Josephine Baker ... her is redundant and awkward; the subject of the first main clause is Paris rather than Baker

B For Josephine Baker ... her is redundant and awkward; putting two introductory elements together before the main clause is awkward

Why A, B是redundant? 我可以理解OG說的, 因為下一句是用she, 所以前面的主詞必需用Baker, 但是redundant在哪?
又To Josephine Baker和For Josephine Baker的差異在哪? 一般使用上何者為正確?

感謝賜教

這題喔~　真是的，算是有點偏難(對我而言啦，其它人應該都利害).......... 害偶也看了半天.... =="

A=> OG 說A句的表現方式，讓他的主詞是Paris 不是Baker ...如果從平衡來看話. , and she 這裡，那就應該是兩個句子的平衡，那 she = Paris 嗎? 應該 she是指那位 Baker 才是吧，所以 OG 說 her 這個字 押是多餘 and 不合適的...

B => 這個喔... 這題一看就知道 Paris home 就是 Baker 這個人的... 所以那個 her 放在中間，怎麼念就怎麼不順，因為一開頭就開明的要說Josephine Baker 這個人的事了... 後面的she 也是指他... 所以her 就像OG所說的 redundant and awkward，而且光看(B)的句構就覺得散散的，一段一段的，結構不佳

這題的小技巧，用平衡來看看...
ETS 公佈答案D...這OG上面說的算是清楚了... 而且莫杯說這是個頭重腳輕的句子，這個我就不多言了
以上供參考了，啊~~ 歡迎有人來補充押
