The answer is:

Reflection is like bouncing a tennis ball, and absorption is like water soaking into a paper towel.

The explanation:

because:

1) The Reflection is like bouncing a tennis ball because the reflection is a return of the sound or light when it hit a surface and return back. and this like when we hit a tennis ball to a surface , then it bounce again.

2) and the absorption is when a substance takes into a different substance, it is like water soaking into a paper towel , because here we have the water as a substance which takes into another one like a paper towel.
