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


正确答案：E
求问：如果表示法令法规的ordinance后面内容需要加ing形式的话，那么为什么此处只有regulate加了，而后面几个动词都是-ed形式，我觉得mandate\require\grant都可以算是内容啊，为什么用的ed形式
或者这样理解，如果用ing形式整个句子就缺少谓语了？法令法规的ing只能在定语成分的时候用一下？

应该是regulating做定语修饰ordinance，然后后面谓语mandated, required, and granted平行吧

楼上说的没错
细看每个动词，mandated, required,和granted是规定的分项内容。regulate显然不是一个层次，是ordinace的目的/结果，所以从意义上说不适合放在一起平行。
具体到做题，可以用平行结构和主谓来选出正确答案。
regulating是现在分词做定语，修饰前面紧邻的ordinance。
