[讨论]OG10th 142

maylsy

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

答案为D, E怎么不对呢？

E中，好像从来没有看过demand it to do sth这种用法，只有ask sb to do sth这种用法。

再請問一下虛擬語氣的動詞用法:

我在參考書上有看到
                    

部分动词的宾语从句中需用虚拟语气，形式为should do, 其中should常被省略。
                        

此类动词有：insist, demand, suggest, propose, order, require, decide, ask, request等.
                        

然後我在OG109, OG117, OG121, OG138, OG142, OG145看到類似考題,

發現此類虛擬語氣動詞可以接that + S + 原形動詞, 或是接 S + to + 原形動詞..
                    

為什麼這題的demand就不能通用呢?

先感謝大家不吝指教~

MM如果对某些词的用法不是很熟悉，可以查字典，推荐LONGMAN。

在LONGMAN中，demand有三种用法

1. demand (that)

2. demand to do

3. demand sth of sb

so, according to your explanation, choice B and E should be ok. right?

but the answer is D.....

why are B and E wrong?

thx a lot~^^

claire_wen

AH~ I got it!

You mean the usage of the word "demand" should look like "demand + to + do", rather than "demand + S(subject) + to do"...

Am I right?

thx again~
