Answer 1

more than“多于，不仅仅是，超过”，不符合句意 ；instead of“代替，而不是...”，后跟动词用ing形式； as a result of“作为...的结果,由于...”，不符合句意。 就剩下Rather than啦。

prefer…rather than…的结构的讲解：
prefer…rather than…宁愿…而不愿…(跟不定式)①She preferred to stay home rather than go with us.她宁愿呆在家里也不愿同我们一起去。②He prefers to go to the town by bike rather than take a bus.他宁愿骑自行车去镇上而不愿乘汽车去。③I prefer to work rather than sit there doing nothing.我宁愿干活不愿坐在那里无所事事。④In the battle, the soldiers preferred to die rather than give in.在战斗中，战士们宁死也不愿向敌人投降。
【注】prefer…rather than…后面接动词时，在prefer后接带to的不定式，在 rather than后接动词原形，也可在 prefer…rather than…后分别接名词。如：⑤I think I should prefer fish rather than meat.我想我还是要鱼，不要肉。
