--were you busy last weekend?

答案是wasting 或者to wasting
rather than do的结构一般只出现在：
would do rather than do,prefer to do rather than do
但是它常规的一个用法就是连词短语,也就是连接两个并列的成分,
原句可以调整为：
I devoted every effort to making an advertisement rather than （to）wasting time playing cards as usual.也就是说,
making an advertisement 和wasting time playing cards as usual是两个平行并列的短语
并且由rather than 连接.
例子：I want it on the desk rather than in the draw .
我想把它放在桌上而不是在抽屉里.on the desk 和in the draw 是平行结构
ps：本人感觉这个题太冗长,直接改成：
I devoted every effort to making an advertisement rather than playing cards as usual.
这样不是更简洁吗?
