Solution:
Comparison + Idioms + Modifiers
A and B: They suggest that “comparison” (between x and y in a tunnel) is “bouncing off one wall…”
C and E: “compared to” must be used instead of “compared with” for dissimilar objects.
D: “compared to” is idiomatic. “bouncing”, placed after coma, correctly modifies “automobile racing through a tunnel”. Hence, D is the best choice.
