OG 186,有关instead of 和rather than 的用法

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
答案是E。
我的疑问有三点:
1、OG中的解释认为:to go home 与be confined to平行,逻辑主语是members of the jury.但如果我们选A,to allow 和to cofine them to也可以平行,逻辑主语是motion. 这样不是也应该可以吗?
2、instead of 和rather than 在用法上究竟有什么区别?觉得OG的解释中从来没有提到二者有区别,但也从来没有选过含instead of的选项,真有点奇怪。
3、a motion that后面的从句是不是应该用虚拟语气?

一道题就有这么多问题,看得我都没信心了,请大家多多指点。

----> problem is not parallelism. but, 'instead of' can only be followed by nouns (my perspective) while 'rather than' is more widely used

2、instead of 和rather than 在用法上究竟有什么区别?觉得OG的解释中从来没有提到二者有区别,但也从来没有选过含instead of的选项,真有点奇怪。
----> see above

3、a motion that后面的从句是不是应该用虚拟语气?
----> why? there is no reason
