解析:【that】that从句表示研究的结果。
【do not】do not表明本剧基本是用一般现在时。

【 at the departure of the children, in fact 】1、at the departure of the children表达不简洁
2、 in fact放在句末不对。

(D) because they can
(E) 【for which】 they could
解析:【During the recession of 1973, home mortgage foreclosures resulted in】 句子用过去时态:根据During the recession of 1973…resulted in…
【homes】根据上面批注,homes后面应该使用一般过去时才更加合理:can→could

【for which】选择 that 还是for which,主要考虑定语从句后面的位于动词是否要跟介词。
先行词home是作为afford payments for的介词宾语的。
