<p>OK. The supposed answer to this question is No Error. Now shouldn't it say "rather than to accept" instead of "rather than accept"?</p>
<p>Ralph Ellisons Invisible Man is the story of a nameless young Black man who ultimately decides to forge his own identity rather than accept the one assigned to him. No error</p>
<p>No “rather than to accept” would be grammatically incorrect.</p>
<p>“rather than” is separating two clauses in the sentence</p>
<p>In the first of these clauses the verb is “decides” followed by the infinitive “to forge” which becomes one action as “decides to forge”. The next clause gives a second completely independent act in “accept”. Parallelism does not apply in this case.</p>
<p>Also “rather than to accept” doesn’t even sound right.</p>
