-The kid seems to be a little strange.-He would( )call his p

答案选C,would rather do sth than do sth else,"宁愿做某事而不愿做其他事".
句意：这小孩儿似乎有点儿奇怪,他宁愿回家而不愿打电话给他父母.
其他选项：
A：like...better,“更喜欢......”,此时like 不与would连用.
B：搭配错误.would like,“喜欢”,中间不加“rather”.
D：would rather不与to搭配,to与prefer可构成“prefer...to...”,“比起......更喜欢......”.
