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)。
