ABCD一个个看下来都可以排除，这没问题吧
到E, E是无关选项嘛
(E) Much of the success of good companies is due
to their adoption of practices that take
advantage of the special circumstances of their
products or markets.
很多好公司的成功都源于他们对自身产品与市场的特殊情况的利用。这和这个公司是不是同行根本毫无关系

因为问题问的是下面那些  不是
benchmarking the performance of a company against
companies with which it is not in competition rather
than against competitors 的原因

只要不能解释就可以了。E不能解释问题，所以选E，而不是说“the special circumstances of their
products or markets.” 就是指competitior
