The Committee adopted a resolution requiring the seven automakers selling the most cars in the state making 2 percent of those vehicles emissions-free by 1998. (全国研考,99-17) 我看不出这道辨错题有什么错误。
首先搞清句子的结构:从 requiring 至句末是个分词短语,作 a resolution(决议)的定语。其中选项 B selling 所引出的分词短语作 the seven automakers 的定语,而选项 D emissions-free 是 those vehicles 的补足语。由此看来,requiring(that)中的 the seven automakers 没有谓语。
其次要记住，在 require(that) 句型中，其宾语从句要求使用现在虚拟式或 should + 动词原形，因此应将 making 改为 make 或 should make。
本题还有一种改法, 就是将 making 改为 to make。此时的句型是 require sb. to do sth.。例如:
-
Working here requires you to have a sense of humour. 在这里工作需要幽默感。
-
They required me to keep silent. 他们要求我保持沉默。
