Question

GMAT平行问题
A recent study has found that within the past few years,many doctors had elected early retirement rather than face the threats of lawsuits and the rising costs of malpractice insurance.
(E) have elected to retire early rather than face
这里的E是答案,可是有rather than连接,为什么不是than to face?这样才平行啊

Answer 1

E是答案
本题是考查时态问题 不定式作宾语 rather than后面的不定式问题
这里rather than后面的不定式不带to.是秃头不定式.
再如1)I decided to write rather than telephone.我决定写信而不是打电话.
2)They prefer to die fighting rather than live in enslavement.
他们宁可战死,也不肯活着受奴役.
3)I prefer to work rather than remain idle.我宁愿工作而不愿闲着.
