Requirements of x by y [WRONG]

CORRECT USAGE as per MGMAT SC

She Requires [NOUN] to do work.
She Requires THAT her friend DO work........(Subjunctive)
She Requires of her friend THAT work BE done(Subj)
Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.

Hi cfacking.. I need study partener..

Require (verb) has following usage

1) Can come with direct object eg he require him to do xyz
2) Can come with sunbjunctive : that :
3) Can come with infinitive: to. But if required is followed by "of" then "to" is incorrect usage. so in that case "that" is appropriate
