請問為何55題只能選subjunctive mode的(D)，而不能選to-infinitive mode的(B)與(E)；而86題只能選to-infinitive mode的(D)，而不能選subjunctive mode的(C)？

我只知道像require這種動詞，既可以用subjunctive mode (require that x do y)也可以用to-infinitive mode (require x to do y)。到底在什麼時侯只能用subjunctive mode，什麼時侯只能用to-infinitive mode，什麼時侯兩者都可以用呢？

from Merriam-Webster
demand [transitive verb]
1 : to ask or call for with authority : claim as due or just <demanded to see a lawyer>
2 : to call for urgently, peremptorily, or insistently <demanded that the rioters disperse>

OG(VR)55 應該是第二種用法--表達堅持;第一種用法(加不定詞)--表達需要.所以是由句意決定

allow 沒有堅持的意思,也沒有加 "that + 原形動詞" 的用法.
