1.        The most favorable locations for the growth of glaciers, rather than being the cold, dry polar regions, would be instead the cool, moist middle latitudes, where there is abundant precipitation and where it is cold enough to allow some snow to accumulate year by year.

(A) glaciers, rather than being the cold, dry polar regions, would be instead the cool, moist middle latitudes

(B) glaciers are not the cold, dry polar regions but the cool, moist middle latitudes

(C) glaciers are the cool, moist middle latitudes rather than the cold, dry polar regions

(D) glaciers, instead of being the cold, dry polar regions, would be the cool, moist middle latitudes（B）

(E) glaciers are, instead of the cold, dry polar regions, rather the cool, moist middle latitudes

为什么C不对？

C. where there is abundant .... by year. 修饰 ploar regions, 不是修饰 middle latitude regions.

修饰对象错误，改变句意了。

E. instead of ... rather ...  

   Is that proper?

这个只是罗嗦和awkward啊，算语法错误吗？

A is rather B，instead of C这样的表达方式一定错误？如果把rather去掉呢？

这种句子结构混乱的应该也算是语法错误的一种吧.

E里面用了instead又用了rather,本身也比较wordy.
