10.   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（C）

(E) even if they are able to afford household appliances which would have been a miracle to their grandparents

  c中 their grandparents would have found miraculous是否做定语修饰 appliances，省略了THAT?为什么不能选E?EVEN IF 和虚拟语气都是对的，只有定语从句的语序变了，但是比C中的省略岂不是更清晰？请哪位大牛指教!

885的题目在987中都有对应，下面链接的帖子中有个转换表，

楼主找到大全987中相对应的题号，可以试着在讨论区中直接搜索，看看有没有你需要的内容。BTW, 你顺带帮忙把标题改一下，这样会方便后来者查询。

定语修饰时，先行词作宾语that可省，作主语不可。

E. can afford本来是固定用法,少见be able to afford(或说前者优于后者)；限定性定从中用that代替which在GMAT中更常见，除介词+which这种情况；household appliances和 a miracle单复数不对应。

多谢，明白了。之前已经搜索了讨论贴，但是这个关于E的回复最清楚。
