A "able to afford..."结构上修饰household labor，不合逻辑

B being able...同样结构上修饰household labor 

C&D 这里的关键是要区别would have done和would的区别

  “the grand parents would have FOUND miraculous .”  这里是要体现出和过去发生的情况相反的意思，即“In fact , the grand parents didn't find appliances miraculous”  would have 若变成would 则是跟现在相反或对未来的假设，和这里的意思不符

E.句型awkward,抽象名词表达力不如动词+形容词的结构

ABE. 错误太明显了，补充下D的错误：

they" of course is "people". D is wrong because "although" conveys a definiteness that "could" contradicts. Also, the tense of "would find" is problematic - the idea is that the grandparents would have found these appliances miraculous if these appliances had existed in the past, not that they would find the appliances miraculous in the present..
