Hi DrgmatIL,

When comparing like things, use 'Compare with'
Eg She compared her pencil with that one.

When comparing two completely different or dissimilar things, use "compared to"

Eg He compared her to the sunshine.

Hence E should be the answer

I see why the 'compared with' is important. But, wouldn't B be correct also since it is maintaining the parallel structure of the immediately preceding string?

is it that in this case, the 'compare with' term is more imp. than getting the parallelism right?
