No, your answer is incorrect.

Because the word 'rather' and 'than' are used together in between of sentences.

You should say,
" I should read this novel rather than watching this stupid film ".

Hope it helps !!!

The sentence “I should rather read a novel than watching this stupid film” is incorrect because of two main issues:

  • Verb tense agreement: The verb tense after "than" should match the verb tense after "rather." In this case, "rather" is followed by the gerund form of the verb "watch," but "than" is followed by the present participle "watching."
  • To correct this, the gerund form of "watch" should be used after "rather," so the correct form is "I should rather read a novel than watch this stupid film."

  • Unnecessary use of "rather": In the corrected sentence above, the word "rather" is technically not necessary.
  • The sentence still conveys the same meaning without it, so it can be removed.
  • The simpler sentence "I should read a novel instead of watching this stupid film" is grammatically correct and more concise.

In summary, the corrected sentence should be either "I should rather read a novel than watch this stupid film" or "I should read a novel instead of watching this stupid film."
