应该是rather than 后面跟动词原形的

drlucky

I agree with you,but the answer is "rather than to do sth"

'to do 'sth is 'to do' sth, rather than + 'to do'

Cool!

I agree with you that the correct usage should be "rather than do", but you say the answer is with "to". Could you please type the whole question with choices?

The way for sb to do sth is to do sth, rather than+to do 还是 do 呢？
我记得LZM中说了RATHER THAN 后+动词原形，是不是这种情况也是这样呢，还是按照结构形式对称用to do呢？到底是那种情况优先考虑呢？
就快考试了，望高手详细指点！！！！

During and immediatly after the California gold rush, the way for a merchant to generate the profit was to move a limited amount of scarce goods to San Francisco as quickly as possible, rather than (to carry larger loads more slowly, determing ) the design of the clipper ship.
1)
2) to carry larger loads more slowly, a situation that determined
3) carry larger loads more slowly, which determined
4) slowly carry larger loads which determined

rather than + V. is normally used, but in this problem, the choice with "rather than do" is not accurate since which clause can't modify the whole former sentence.

As I remember, when there is a SHI YI DONG CI (like "do", "love", "hate", etc) in the former sentence, the "to" after "rather" must be omited. Here, the structure is "was to do sth. rather than to do sth.", there is "was" instead of "do". If this is right, we may have to keep it in mind.But lousian's point is ok, if we think about them all as parallelism.

Somebody please refer to a dictionary. LUCYLU is strong in detailed grammar, where is she?

其实，把题干再简化就是sth is A rather than B. 这样，就看得出来a=to do. B就自然也是to do了。

rather than 是连词，前后的形式应该是一致的
