For many people, household labor remains demanding even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle. (A) even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle
(B) despite being able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle
(C) even if they can afford household appliances their grandparents would have found miraculous
(D) although they could afford household appliances their grandparents would find miraculous
(E) even if they are able to afford household appliances which would have been a miracle to their grandparents
與過去事實相反,用would have+pp
many people現在可以,用can不用could
所以c對d錯

For many people, household labor remains demanding even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle.

Sorry, can somebody explain the structure of this sentence for me...i can't understand it.
附屬子句是even if they can afford household appliances their grandparents would have found miraculous 到這裡嗎?their grandparents would have found miraculous 是修飾appliances的嗎?還有為什麼知道要用與過去相反的would have+pp? 謝謝

[vickykuo]

their grandparents would have found that(=appliances) miraculous
that 關係代名詞作受格可以省略
另根據大全解釋，
這些appliances 對他們的祖父母在過去而言認為miraculous,
因與過去事實相反(從前沒有這些appliances)
所以用would have + PP

以上為個人綜合大全及GWD之討論，
若有疑問，請多指教囉~~

總覺得少個連接詞或關代, 原來是這樣:
For many people, household labor remains demanding even if they can afford household appliances (that) their grandparents would have found miraculous.

(A) = even if (household labor is) able to => 句意不通 (be able to 的主詞一定是人); 流水句
(B) 流水句
(D) 副詞子句時態要跟主要子句一致: could 應該用 can
(E) appliances <> a miracle (數量不一致)

[dibert8]

對很多人而言,家事總是力不從心,雖然可以買讓他們祖父母無法想像的家電器具.
would have 與過去事實相反的假設

錯誤選項特徵(考題設計):

1. 主詞--
(A) household labor 買家電 --> X
(B) household labor 有能力 (be able to) --> X

=> 所以 they (= people) 才對! (C) (D) (E)

2. 時態--
(D) 同事件 (household labor remains demanding) 時態不一致

3. 換字--
(B) despite (改變句意); 介係詞片語帶 Ving: 太沉重
(D) although (改變句意)
(E) can vs be able to (be able to afford-- redundancy)
(A) (B) (E) miracle vs miraculous

4. 以文法缺陷(省略的關代)為誘餌,對付用文法解題的外國人--
(E) which (ETS 限定子句的關代一定用 that, 不會用 which)

5. 玩弄 be 動詞 (e.g. 改成被動)--
(B) being (不簡潔)
(E) appliances = a miracle --> X

For many people, household labor remains demanding even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle.
(A) even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle
(B) despite being able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle
(C) even if they can afford household appliances their grandparents would have found miraculous
(D) although they could afford household appliances their grandparents would find miraculous
(E) even if they are able to afford household appliances which would have been a miracle to their grandparents
答案是c

過去事實相反的假設不是應該是...

If S1 had been/Vpp ..., S2 should/would/could/might have been/Vpp....

怎麼一點都不符合這規則阿? can → could, remain → would remain??

[dibert8]

只有後半關代子句(省略 that) 是假設語氣(與過去事實相反的假設).
