For most consumers, the price of automobile insurance continues to rise annually, even if free of damage claims and moving violations.
(A) even if
(B) despite being
(C) even if they are
(D) although they may be
(E) even if remaining

答案C

ABE可以排除，因为even if要接句子，B怪怪的。CD怎么看？
我唯一能想到的就是D改了意思。说他们可能。。但是感觉还是很牵强啊。。。

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

这个答案也是C，意思是啥？

even if和although意思不同，当然不可以随便替换，而且although又加了may，may也是不可以随便增加或去掉的情态动词哦~~所以相比当然保持原义的好。

对于很多人来说，家务劳动力（大概就是指钟点工）还是需要的，即使他们（指many people）可以使用在他们grandparents看来会是很神奇的家务装置（清洁器等电子产品之类的）。

提到他外公外婆看法的那个地方用了虚拟，是说在他们那个年代会觉得很神奇的产品，因而是对过去虚拟，用would have found。

從題目使用"remains"知道時態是現在式，(D)選項的could與題目時態不符，所以不能選(D)

对第一个问题D选项的解释：

句意是：对于大多数消费者来说，汽车保险价格每年都在持续增长，即使他们没有索要赔偿和发生交通违章事故
关键点在于continue, 说的是汽车保险价格会继续增长，即使车主在未来不会...
对未来的假设应该用even if，不应用although，因为although表示事实。

对第二个问题D选项的解释：
although they could使用了虚拟，although不可以使用虚拟，另外由于主句是remains, 一般现在时，could应该为can
