(B) their
(C) similar
(D) them
(E) No error

答案和解析

答案：D

解析：

The error in this sentence occurs at (D), where there is illogical pronoun use. It doesn't make sense to say that schools competed against "them" when "them" could refer to "high schools," "schools," or even "students." Instead, "one another" or "each other" is needed.
