109和181对require 的解释前后矛盾
109. Legislation in the Canadian province of Ontario
requires of both public and private employers that pay
be the same for jobs historically held by women as for
jobs requiring comparable skill that are usually held by men.
(A) that pay be the same for jobs historically held by women as for jobs requiring comparable skill that are
(B) that pay for jobs historically held by women should be the same as for a job requiring comparable skills
(C) to pay the same in jobs historically held by women as in jobs of comparable skill that are
(D) to pay the same regardless of whether a job was historically held by women or is one demanding comparable skills
(E) to pay as much for jobs historically held by women as for a job demanding comparable skills
Choice A is best. In choice B, should is illogical after requires, or at
least unnecessary, and so is better omitted; in choices B and E, job
does not agree in number with jobs; and in choices B, D, and E, the
wording illogically describes the comparable skills rather than the
jobs as being "usually held by men." Choices C, D, and E produce the
ungrammatical construction requires of... employers to pay, in which
of makes the phrase incorrect. In C, the use of in rather than for is
unidiomatic, and jobs of comparable skill confusedly suggests that the
jobs rather than the workers possess the skills. In D, the phrase
beginning regardless ... is awkward and wordy in addition to being
illogical.
181. Because of the enormous research and
development expenditures required to survive in the electronics
industry, an industry marked by rapid innovation and volatile demand,
such firms tend to be very large.
(A) to survive
(B) of firms to survive
(C) for surviving
(D) for survival
(E) for firms' survival
The subject of the main clause (such firms) presumes a prior reference
to the firms in question. Furthermore, the logical subject of to
survive and the logical complement of required should be made explicit.
All three demands are met by B, the best choice. Choices A, C, and D,
with no reference to the firms in question, meet none of these
demands. In choice E, the illogical and awkward use of a prepositional
phrase (for firms' survival) buries the needed initial reference to
firms in a possessive modifier.
109和181对require 的解释前后矛盾，不知我是不是看错了，请明示。另外og 181的required of firm to survive如要变成定语从句前面的先行词expenditures放在句中什么位置。
没有前后矛盾啊
109中，requiring that 是分词短语，修饰JOB
而181中，require of sb to do sth
这里加上FIRMS这个逻辑主语，是为了更清楚的表示，和后面的such firms对应啊
不然，后面的这个such firms 就显的太突兀了 |
