Sentence Correction

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.
(A) made a comparison of the Federal Reserve and an automobile as racing through a tunnel, bouncing
(B) made a comparison between the Federal Reserve and an automobile racing through a tunnel, bouncing
(C) compared the Federal Reserve with an automobile as racing through a tunnel and which bounced
(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

Answer is D or E? Pl explain

A has multiple errors. "comparison of" is incorrect. "as racing" is
inappropriate while doing comparison

"compared to" is used when showing similarities
"compared with" is used to show differences

Hence C and E are incorrect.

B, I believe is verbose. "has compared" is preferred to "has made a
comparison between". The present perfect tense here indicates that
he's still making the comparison ...

So, D looks like the correct answer.

It should be compared to...hence D

"compared to" - correct idiom to describe resemblance between unlike things. hence D

"compared to" - correct idiom to describe resemblance between unlike things. hence D

What is the problem with B. Please explain.

Thanks.

Leo is this is a gmat prep question?? Are you sure, i cant vote for any choice

The original post is very old.
Not sure its GMAT PREP question. Who is bouncing in choice (D)?

I will go for D.

E - is wrong because of ambigious "it". "and" is wrong here.
C - "and which", GMAT uses "which" only after a comma or as an object of an preposition. And what does "which" refer to ?

A and B can be eliminated applying VAN rule.

I dont think that this question test "compared to" and "comapared with" difference.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
