boyoo

B.    of firms to survive
E. for firms' survival
答案B
OF  从何来？

句末的such firms tend to be very large.

非常感谢，改天请李吃蟹脚
不好意识，我还是不很明白，为什么要用OF？
because of the enormouse research and development expenditures ( which are
required OF/FOR firms to survive in electronic industry)
这样还原原句，好像不大通。
若从SUCH FIRM 艾来，又如何解思理？
通常什么情况下用OF ？

nina23

OF 在这里是为了与后面所说的SUCH FIRMS 照应，后面出现的SUCH FIRMS证明前面一定提及到了FIRMS，所以应该选一个有FIRM的答案。

这种情况下就用OF 了，其他的例子想不起来了，好像OG里还有一个考REQUIRE 的，但有OF 的选项是错的。

OG
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.

我想，可能有个结构成在;
requir sth of sb
OG 109, -- requir sth(that---) of sb( --employers)
because ( that---) too long, so put ( that---) behind sb( ---emploers)
OG 181,   requir sth( --expenditure) of firms
由于用了后置分词修辞
the enormous research and development expenditures( which are) required
of firms to servive in-------
