OG 109题

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.

OG 181题

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.

在109题中说require of x to y是ungrammatical的，而181题又说这个是正确的。

我自己也能感觉到这两个说的不太一样，也许是of x所充当的成分不同？

还往 NN给予讲解。bow

两个句子中require做的成分不一样

109.Legislation in the Canadian province of Ontario requires（谓语） of both public and private employers that

181.Because of the enormous research and development expenditures required（补语） of firms to survive

整个句子还原以后为：To survive in the electronics industry requires enormous research and development expenditures of firms.

收到！我最近可能真的要好好学习语法了

我是个语法弱智

我觉得181题是require x to do，of firms只是为了说明“the logical subject of to survive and the logical complement of required”，相当于by firms，不是require x to do句型的一部分

请指正！！

同意

because of 后面只能加 +n.

不能加句子的

所以181 的required 是 -ed分词，修饰expenditures.

但是这里-ed分词，我怎么觉的，应该是做定语啊？

而不是谓语动词，不适用于require sb. to do.

请镯mm指教

我也觉得应该是ed分词
