问题 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.
选项 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 E
解析 此题解题的关键在于划线中的to confine them to a hotel的含意，是“陪审团成员限制他们自己在酒店内呢”，还是“陪审团成员们被限制在酒店内呢”?显然是后者，仅由此一点就可锁定答案E。在第一部分GMAT公理中讲过：instead of是介词，后面只跟动名词或名词，因而A、B中的instead of to confine／confined to都不对；B的would have allowed所表示的虚拟语气是无来由的。C、D中的confining them和confinement都未能表示出“被限制”之意。E用rather than代替instead of，用不带to的被动态正确地表明了原意。
