In a state of pure commercial competition, there would be a large number of producing firms, all unfettered by governmental regulations, all seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than each other.
all seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than each other
all seeking more successfully to meet consumer needs and wants than the others
each seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than one another
each seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than the others
each seeking more successfully to meet consumer needs and wants than another
题目分析：
本题中的比较词为more successfully than，(A)中对比的两者为“所有公司（all）”和“每一个（each other）”；(B)(E)中对比的两者为to meet consumer needs and wants和the others（其他公司）；(C)中对比的两者为“每一个公司（each）”和“另一个公司（one another）”；(D)中对比的两者为“每个公司”和“其他公司”。在逻辑上，“每个公司”都想比“其他公司”在达到消费者预期（meet consumer needs and wants）方面更加成功，所以能合理的产生“更成功（more successfully than）”关系的两者是“每个公司”和“其他公司”，可以排除(A)(B)(C)(E)，答案为(D)。
选项分析：
略
An important thing to observe here is the usage of “each other” and “one another”. These expressions are used to show reciprocal actions. Take these simple examples:
a. Laurel and Hardy love each other.
This sentence means that Laurel loves Hardy. And Hardy loves Laurel. So here we have reciprocal action here.
b. All the cartoon characters start fighting with one another towards the end of the show.
This sentence means that one cartoon character was fighting with every other character. Here to the action is reciprocal.
However, the original meaning of the sentence does not intend to express reciprocal actions. It actually compares all the producing firms with one another. On this basis, choices A and C can be eliminated for incorrect use of “each other” and “one another”.
