Rather than 及 instead of 的区别
Rather than 显示出了偏好，后面可以接名词、不动式等，Instead of 只代表客观的替代，无情绪表达。
eg.
I would rather have ice cream than apple pie because I like ice cream better. But if there weren't very much ice cream left, and I wanted to save some for tomorrow, I might have apple pie instead of ice cream tonight.
这题我记得：rather than最重要的考点应该不是情绪上的偏好，而是需要平行。
Recently discovered fossil remains strongly suggest that the Australian egg-laying mammals of today are a branch of the main stem of mammalian evolution rather than developing independently from a common ancestor of mammals more than 220 million years ago.
• A rather than developing independently from （这里看着是和 are branch平行，但考虑下意思就知道不对，是一个...的分支，而不是...独立地发展自...）
• B rather than a type that developed independently from
• C rather than a type whose development was independent of (a type和whose搭配不对)
• D instead of developing independently from （development应该优先用，而不是动名词形式）
• E instead of a development that was independent of （意思改变了，是一种..的分支，而不是一种...。这里变成而不是一种发展...）
The "of" in "instead of" is a preposition, and its object must be a noun. Thus, "instead of" can only be used to compare single nouns, and the GMAT Sentence Correction seems to avoid even this use. The GMAT also seems to avoid the "instead of" [gerund] structure. The "than" in "rather than" is a subordinate clause, so the structure "rather than" is considerably more flexible in what can follow it.
