IMO E

B and D out because of 'among'. C out because of 'comparisons'.

Out of A and E...IMO compare to is correct and comparing with is correct. Therefore, E

What is OA?

I would choose A.

I believe the idiom is compared to when you are comparing either similarities or differences
and I believe the idiom is compared with when comparing both similarities and differences.

What is the source of this question? According to MGMAT

https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/whe ... t2071.html

compared to and compared with has never been the reason why an answer choice is eliminated. 800bob on test magic says same thing that they are interchangeable. Makes me think this is NOT a good problem to study

I went with E , as i believed "compared with" to be the correct format .

After reading the MGMAT forum , i am confused .

Does this question trying to highlight the contrast between the two options? I would say so definitely ..

I would go with C for this,

In addition to the choice between "compare with" and "compare to", there is one thing that I based my choice up on.

RT often base <their choice> on <>

Here I felt "comparisons" goes better than "comparing" does.

There has been a couple of questions with COMPARED TO and COMPARED WITH idioms . And they still remain a mystery to me .

I have see the MGMAT forum and this is what their book says :
Following is taken from MGMAT SC book:

NOTE : GMAT ignores the traditional distinction between COMPARED TO (emphasizing similarities) and COMPARED WITH (emphasizing differences).

Ex : A zebra can be COMPARED TO a horse in many ways .

COMPARED WITH a horse ,however, a zebra is hard to tame .

so looking at the ambiguous answer option I suspect this question to of GMAT standard.
Also have a look at a similar post : https://www.beatthegmat.com/sentence-cor ... tml#232641

Looking at the situation I would say this is not a GMAT standard question.
"Know thyself" and "Nothing in excess"
