标题: 请教OG 186
186. Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow
members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to a hotel.
(A)    to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to
(B)    that would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of confined to
(C)    under which members of the jury are allowed to go home at the end of each day instead of confining them in
(D)    that would allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than confinement in
(E)    to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to
In this sentence, members of the jury are presented with two options: they may (1) go home or (2) be confined to a hotel. The rejected motion would have allowed them to do the first rather than [to] suffer the second. Members of the jury must be the logical subject of both options, and both must be expressed in parallel form, that is, as infinitive clauses. E, the best choice, observes these requirements. In A and C, the phrase members of the jury is not the logical subject of the second option, to confine them or confining them, since jury members are not doing the confining. In B and D, confined and confinement are not infinitives and thus do not parallel to go in the first option.

正确答案E中认为并列的两个动作为go to home 和 be confined to a hotel，但如果认为并列的动作为to allow members to go home和to confine them to hotel,二者功能和结构都能对称（都是不定式做状语，结构都是to+动词+宾语），是不是A也正确呢？
请教，谢谢大家.

用to confine them to hotel 替代 to allow members to go home
即 to allow members of the jury to confine them to hotel 再看看

以下是引用bluestone1在2003-12-16 11:37:00的发言：
用to confine them to hotel 替代 to allow members to go home
即 to allow members of the jury to confine them to hotel 再看看

但如果是用confine代替allow,用them 代members of jury呢？不就说得通了吗？
再次请教，谢谢。

A 的错误：
1）instead of 不能引导不定式，只能是名词
2）to allow ... 修饰 motion，不是目的状语， a motion to do something
3）confine to hotel 与 go home 并列更合理
