Hello Instructors,

The Sentence Correction guide claims that "Zebras are more vicious compared to horses" is wrong (Page 149). Why is that so?

Thanks

It's just not the appropriate idiom, and that's the thing about idioms--they have their own rules and we just have to memorize them. There's really not much explanation beyond that.
