Note
A regular past form: one spelling covers the simple past (they demanded answers) and the participle after have or be (a refund has been demanded). The passive sits most naturally with the 'require' meaning, usually followed by of: more was demanded of them than they could give. The noun demand, the economist's desire to purchase, has no part in it, because only the verb takes this ending.
