Vercules,
Below is your explanation for the question in the link given rather-than-accept-the-throne-of-kapilavastu-lord-buddha-152255.html
(D) Rather than accept the throne of Kapilavastu, Lord Buddha went towards the path of complete awareness to see whether he could achieve a state of enlightenment, having been sent by his inner instincts.
CORRECT. This choice uses the construction “X rather than Y” to correctly compare the parallel active verbs “accept” and “went.” The uncertainty about reaching India by travelling west is correctly indicated by the word “whether.”
However, in this question you stated that passive (was signed) is parallel with active verbs (prohibits) Could you please elaborate?
Thanks,
