Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Correct answer: Than

Explanation: "Rather" is used to express preference and is followed by the base form of a verb, with the alternative introduced by "than."

  • Structure to use: rather + base verb + than + base verb. Example: I'd rather sleep than go to a mall.

  • Why "To" is wrong: "to" makes an infinitive (to go), but after "rather" we use the bare verb form, not "to".

  • Why "Then" is wrong: "then" indicates time or sequence and does not express the contrast needed here.

  • Why "Versus" is wrong: although it denotes contrast, it is not the idiomatic word used after "rather"; "than" is the correct connector.
