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.
demanding that it should
demanding it to
and their demand to
who demanded that it
who demanded it to
Choice D, the best answer, uses the grammatically correct expression demanded that it bring back, in which demanded that it is followed by the subjunctive verb bring. Choice A incorrectly uses should bring rather than bring: demanding that already conveys the idea of "should," and at any rate a modal auxiliary verb, such as should or must, cannot grammatically follow the expression demanded that. Similarly, B and E use the ungrammatical expression demanding/demanded it to. In C, the expression yielded to... customers and their demand to bring... unnecessarily states that the company yielded to the customers as well as to their demand. This expression also fails to specify that the company is expected to bring back the original formula.

D/E的用法都对啊？为何OG说：Similarly, B and E use the ungrammatical expression demanding/demanded it to.

谢谢。

字典上只有demanded that，而没有demanded sb to do的用法：

Angry demonstrators demanded the resignation of two senior officials. demand to

know/see/have etc something
I demand to know what's going on.

demand that
They demanded that the military government free all political prisoners.

demand something of somebody
It seemed that no matter what she did, more was demanded of her.
'Where are you going?' she demanded angrily.

in D, the "it" doesn't agree with "bring". if D is right, it should say "... who demanded that it brings back..."

am i missing something here?

这里demand后面的从句是虚拟语气，必须省略should，用原形动词！

thanks!

so the next logical question will be: are all the "从句" which follow word "demand" using "虚拟语气", irredardless of what context are?

cmtn · 发表于 2004-5-21 07:03:00

as I know yes.

虚拟语气一定不能用should吗？我记得好像是可用可不用的

金山词霸里查demand，有例句：

I demand that one of you (should) go there at once. 我要求你们中间一人立即到那里去! (美国用法省略should)

那这样的化，选项A为什么不对？
