Og142. 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

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.

看了以前贴子,还是没有这方面的讨论

请问下og说c的错误表达无法表达出公司希望变回最初的配方的意思,我不知道这种效果是怎么通过c表达除了的

而正确选项又是如何表达出"公司希望变回最初的配方"这种意思

C. Coke yielded to consumers and their demand to bring back the original formula.

Coke yielded to Two pressure: 1) Comsumers 2)Consumer demand (n.)

The difference between C and D is that there is a "it" in D that refers to "Coca-cola company". D clearly states that consumers demand Coke company to do sth. C states that Coke company yielded to consumer demand. There is a subtle difference.

Hope that helps.

总算恍然，其实C，不光是重复了yield to customer demand.

后面的to bring back the original formula, 表达的是company yield to ...to bring back....是company yield...的结果。而没有说明是不是customer的要求。

这里总结一下，to do sth. 放在句尾，往往被认为修饰动词的结果，而不是用来修饰近邻它的名词。要明确修饰名词,必须要用定语从句。

(A) demanding that it should

(B) demanding it to

(C) and their demand to

(D) who demanded that it

(E) who demanded it to

OG中选D -- demanded that it bring back, 我想问demand是过去时从句不应当用过去时么？另外不选E是不是因为demand是及物动词呢？

小人这里施礼了先......

So, I can demand that you do something, but I don't demand that you should do something. If I'm demanding it, I'm not saying I think you should do it. I'm telling you to do it. Choice A is wrong for this reason.

Also, I can demand that you do something, but I don't demand you do something - I need the "that" in there because I am "demanding that you do the entire statement. I'm not just "demanding you." Choice B is wrong for this reason.

C is wrong because the "and" seems to indicate some kind of separation between the two parts (before and after the and) but they are connected.

D is the right answer. "Who" indicates a noun modifier, which is correctly placed (right next to the noun it modifies - consumers). Again, I demand that you do something, so this is right.

E is wrong because "that" is missing. "That" is necessary, as described above.
