Sentence Correction

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


[spoiler]why not A?[/spoiler]

any explanation :!:

IMO-E

Instead is used for replacement

Rather is used for preference

In this sentence, the judge would prefer to deny a motion than to confine members of the jury.

oa is e

Why not D ?

allow X to (verb) Y rather than to (verb)

D is out as both sides of rather are not parallel.
D is of the form: allow X to go home rather than confinement, go: verb, confinement: noun. so not parallel.

For kicking out A and C...OG says:

"In A and C, the phrase members of the jury is not the logical subject of the second option, to confine them or confining them, since jury members are not doing the confining."....

Can someone please tell what does OG mean to say here ? Which grammar rule is OG refering to here ?

Option B is wrong here. Its wrong because we need a BE verb after instead of

(B) that would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of confined to

if the option B were

(B) that would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of remaining confined to

would it have been correct ?

guess it means both sides of instead/rather cannot be in active voice.
active voice is used when the subject performs the action, passive voice used when action performed on the subject.

allow members to go home: ok as members do the action of going home.
allow members to confine: wrong as members are not confining themselves. they are being confined=>passive in sense. someone/something else does the act of confining the members.

so A and C are wrong. we need past participle "confined" in the passive voice.
