Question Pack question. So proceed only if don't intend to purchase QP.

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.

A) all seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than each other.
B) all seeking more successfully to meet consumer needs and wants than the others.
C) each seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than one another.
D) each seeking to meet consumer needs and wants more successfully than the others.
E) each seeking successfully to meet consumer needs and wants than another.
OA D

Hello Guru,
According to one of your post ,each refers to nearest plural noun.
Why is it not the case in OA?
Isn't B more logical then, and more parallel?

aflaam, you have put OA as C, while in GMATGuruNY's post, the correct answer is D.

Can you please edit your post, so that there is no confusion.
