rather than write 正确.
instead of 为短语介词,与其他介词一样,后面不能接动词不定式.
纯属猜测：你的困惑仅仅是因为你在用翻译帮助你,能翻译通就觉得可以.这当然是不行的.
“instead of 后面只能接动名词”-----“只能”有误,也可接名词.
选A
rather than 后面可接不定式也可接动名词 但要与前面的动词保持一致 前面是动名词 rather than也接动名词 前面是不定式 rather than也接不定式 且不定式常省略to 这里前面是to send .....不定式
instead of 后面只能接动名词 不能接不定式
答案：B,
rather than 后接不定式，可带 to 或不带 to；
instead of 是短语介词，后面需接 动名词短语 （instead of writing）。
