Ok I think I read somewhere that GMAT doesn't distinguish between compare to and compare with. But still if we are left with two choices where we have to deal with compare to and compare with. THis is how I understand it
compare to --> dissimilar things
compare with --> similar things
One noted economist has made a comparison of the Federal Reserve and an automobile as racing through a tunnel, bouncing first off one wall, then the other; the car may get where it is going, but people may be hurt in the process.
(D) compared the Federal Reserve to an automobile racing through a tunnel, bouncing
(E) compared the Federal Reserve with an automobile that races through a tunnel and it bounces
Here the OA is D . But arent we comparing similar things instead of looking at their differences?. So shouldnt the OA be E
