The second part of the sentence. Tom prefers hunting for treasure to going to school ! Tom prefers hunting for treasure to going to school ! I have no problem with "Tom prefers hunting for treasure" but " to going to school' confuse me. Does it mean A. He prefer hunting for treasure than going to school B. He prefer hunting for treasure while on the way to schoo. That's all I can guess.
