标题: 菜鸟问题：OG11-55

原题如下：

142. In one of the most stunning reversals in the history of marketing, the Coca-Cola company in July 1985 yielded to thousands of irate consumers demanding that it should bring back the original Coke formula.

(A) demanding that it should

(B) demanding it to

(C) and their demand to

(D)
who demanded that it

(E) who demanded it to

排除AC,BDE我存在两个问题。为什么动名词demanding 修饰consumers错，为什么demand it to bring(demand sb to do sth) 错，定要使用虚拟语气从句，其实我看不出这里有用虚拟语气的必要。盼高手给我个清晰地回答。

The usage of "demand":

demand: to ask for something very firmly. So you may demand to see/know/have sth. Or you may demand that ...(should) + verb (should is often dropped in a formal writing). Or you may demand sth of sb. But you cannot demand sb to do sth because you cannot ask for sb to do sth but simply ask sb to do sth. So B and E are wrong.

The usage of "-ing" clauses:

These clauses are often similar to defining relative clauses beginning which, who, or that. But when we talk about a single, completed action in the defining relative clause, rather than a continuous action, we can't use an -ing clause. Obviously, the consumers' demand was a single, completed action, so A and B are wrong.

But you cannot demand sb to do sth because you cannot ask for sb to do sth but simply ask sb to do sth.这句话我怎么看不懂？我这道题选了E，我觉得demand sb to do sth挺正确的啊？

请NN再详细解释一下，不好意思，白天看太多东西，脑子转不过来了。

是不是这个意思：

demand=ask for = 要求得到，后面只能接事物，所以you cannot ask for sb to do sth 。

ask sb to do: ask-要求
