请问E 选项中 Compare to 两类不同的事物ongoing trade imbalances with China and Japan 和 the united stats record exports .

何错之有？？？ 为什么一定要选A

D 项的 ongoing trade imbalances 和 the United States sold record exports 是不同事物，不能用COMPARE WITH 比较

compare 在句子开头只能用compared with ,不能用compare to 。我去查查

compare to 用于比较不同事物， compare with 用于比较相同事物

E 选项不就是在比较不同事物吗？何错之有?

compare to是比较不同事物的相似性

如果是没有区别的话，那这题可以说的过去
