A. regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required of cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and it granted
B. regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, granting

E. regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and granted


This comes down to C, D, E for me. In C, "required cyclists that" should be "required that cyclists" for the right construction of the subj mood. In D, "requiring of cyclists that" should be "requiring that cyclists".

E is right because of the right subj mood construction.


Can you explain why you rule out B.

I thot regulated, mandated, required all || and as a consequence granting ....

we need regulating instead of regulated.
D is out, as 'mandating' would make it parallel to regulating.
C 'that' they' is not required.

E is the best choice.
