* Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury

by Delia Thu Aug 01, 2013 10:40 pm

Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to a hotel.

A. to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of to confine them to
B. that would have allowed members of the jury to go home at the end of each day instead of confined to
C. under which members of the jury are allowed to go home at the end of each day instead of confining them in
D. that would allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than confinement in
E. to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to

The answer is E. But why not A? What's wrong with putting to allow members of the jury.... and to confine them to... in parallel?

Thanks in advance.
