SAT文法:关于rather than的问题
原题:
In her welcom lecture, the dean told parents that the most successful students are generally those (which) take a wide variety of courses during their freshman year, rather than immediately (focusing) on a single area of interest.
答案虽然说显然是which错了,但是我不明白rather than后面为什么不用focus?它不是平行的连词吗,那么who take a wide不就跟who focus on一起吗?难道是因为focus前面没有who所以要变成focusing吗?这样语法上的依据是什么?

答案
回答1.those指代人,故关系代词用who
2.rather than可以连接两个动词、两个不定式、两个动名词、两个介词短语等:
We will have the meeting in the classroom rather than in the great hall.
She enjoys singing rather than dancing.
I decided to write rather than (to) telephone.
He ran rather than walked.
回到问题2:R.Quirk编著的《英语语法大全》p.1387明确指出:和as well as及in stead of一样,rather than后面跟一个和主句中的动词形式并不匹配的ing分词分句时,它是介词,而不是准并列连词:
Their actions precipitated the war rather than averting it.
他们的行为促使战争爆发而不是避免战争.
故句中用focusing是把rather than 作为介词来用了.当然,若把rather than 作为并列连词来用,这里用focus也对,.
