Question

【题目】The old man prefers to ______ at home rather than ______ to have a picnic.

A. staying；going B. stay；to going C. stay；go

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】句意：这位老人宁愿呆在家里也不愿去野餐。考查动词形式辨析题。prefer后接不定式时与rather than连用，rather than接省略to的不定式，即“prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.”，意思是“宁愿做……而不做……”，是固定句式；根据句意结构，可知选C。
