Question

Lisa would rather_______ at home than_______ to the cinema .

A．staying; going

B．staying; go

C．to stay; to go

D．stay; go

Answer 1

D

考察would rather的用法, would rather与than连用，可构成另一个惯用句式，即：“would rather...than....”意为“宁可（愿）……（而）不要（愿）……；与其……不如……”。用以表达主语的意愿，强调经过选择后做其中一件事，而不愿做另一件事。在使用“would rather...than...”句型时，应注意would rather后跟不带to的不定式+than+不带 to的不定式.故选D.
