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)
(E) to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to
答案选E,这个到时没问题。og里面说
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.
想问的是，哪个rather than 后面的to为什么能省？什么时候可以省?是不是比较不定式to的都可以呢？
谢谢？

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 (主语必须一致), 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.
E选项用be有歧义阿
to allow.... to go home and be..... 这个跟哪个不定式有点vague
应该是没有歧义。因为只能跟to go home，如果跟to allow的话，那么就没有动作的执行对象了。不知道谁被confined了。
