Easy

Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:

I'd like to play inside __________ go out with my friends.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

"Rather than" is the correct expression for stating a preference between two actions: "play inside rather than go out". "Rather" alone cannot join the two verb phrases, "and rather" is unidiomatic, and "rather then" confuses "then" (time) with "than" (comparison).
