The given prompt is:
Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than facing low salaries in the city.
Which of the following options is correct:
(A) Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than to face low salaries in the city.
(B) Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than face low salaries in the city.
In general, when is it correct to separate words containing more than one verb, such that the separated helping verb (was, to, that) applies to all the individual words in a parallel structure, and when is it not?
Thanks,

The correct option is B. Lets look at the two sentences:
(A) Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than to face low salaries in the city.
Many teachers is the subject here. Lets restate the sentence - Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than choose to face low salaries.
Teachers do 2 things: 1) Many teachers choose to seek employment. 2) Many teachers choose to face low salaries - Is the intended meaning clear here? No. People do not choose to face low salaries. Instead, teachers do not want to face low salaries. So they choose to seek employment.
(B) Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than face low salaries in the city.
Many teachers choose to seek employment.
Many teachers face low salaries.
These are the 2 results. The intended meaning is also clear here. Teachers choose to seek employment because they do not want to face low salaries.
chetan2u can you provide your views too.

Hi,
RATHER THAN is used to show preference of one thing over another..
the sentence being talked about can be written both ways and would mean the same
(A) Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than to face low salaries in the city.
(B) Many teachers choose to seek employment in the suburbs rather than face low salaries in the city.
ONLY point is B is preferred over A as B is more stylistic by eliding/omitting 'to' after 'rather than'..
