The correct answer is: $\frac{x}{\log x}+C$
$\begin{aligned} & \int\{f(x)-g(x)\} d x=\int f(x) d x-\int g(x) d x \\ & =\int \frac{1}{\log x} d x-\int \frac{1}{(\log x)^2} d x \\ & =\int \frac{1}{\log x} \times 1 d x-\int \frac{1}{(\log x)^2} d x \\ & =\frac{1}{\log x} \cdot x-\int \frac{-1}{(\log x)^2} \times \frac{1}{x} \times x d x-\int \frac{1}{(\log x)^2} d x \\ & =\frac{x}{\log x}+\int \frac{1}{(\log x)^2} d x-\int \frac{d x}{(\log x)^2} \\ & =\frac{x}{\log x}\end{aligned}$
