Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.
A. requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect
B. requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting
C. that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets protect
D. to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets are protecting
E. to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

答案B，请教A为什么错？

主谓不一致

A的结构：

Their compliance (主語是单数）with laws (后面是修饰law的，不管） protect（错！） adult sea turtles.

明白了，我一直纠结为什么that从句就不好，就算that正确，protect也用错了，谢谢MM！

接这题问下 to do 和 doing

compliance with laws requiring  伴随，表示law的内容

compliance with laws to require 表示目的

可以这样理解吗？

那为什么不能选E？遵循法律是为了require ...devices

还是说改变意思了呢？
