what is the roar compared to? (this question form makes me cofusion)

what does the roar compared to ?

which is the correct one?

Because we asking about a comparison. To whom the roar is compared? That is the answer we have to get. or the the expected answer from the question is 'The roar is compared to scream of the tide'.

When we ask 'what is the roar compared to' the meaning of the question change is changed - I suspect.

When you are continuing a discussion, ahemmedsai, please continue to post on the same thread. Do not start a new thread each time you post. Start a new thread only for a new topic.

What is the roar compared to?--This is correct. It is passive voice. What is the roar compared to [by the writer]? The active form of this sentence is 'What does the writer compare the roar to? (This has the same meaning.)

To what is the roar compared? - This is OK, too (as I have corrected it). It is another way to make the question.

When we ask 'what is the roar compared to' the meaning of the question change is changed - I suspect.-- No, it is fine.

We can compare living things and non living things: That train is a flying palace. His car is a moving theatre.- Yes, these are fine, too.
