> you are comparing vicious with horses.
> Incorrect Idiom - more .. compared to ...

Correct sentence would be -
Zebras are more vicious than horses are.
Or
Zebras are more vicious than are horses.

actually you can also write -

Zebras are more vicious than horses.

I don't think so that vicious is being compared to horses..........the sentence is wrong because compared to is used to compare unlike things to point out the similarities but over here zebras and horses are both animals and therefore I feel compared to is the wrong usage.............please clarify if I am wrong.......

Correct idiom is 'more...than'. If we make this change, comparison will be correct - btn Zebra & Horses

Secondly, though many of us feel 'compared to' is used to compare dissimilarity, Experts are divided on this..have a look:

a little rectification to what you said, compared to is not used to show disimilarity, it's basically used to compare unlike things and show the similarity between the two things..........

I thought GMAT does not test this kind of usage. So why should we worry about it..Just my two cents
