原句句子结构：public places had installed electric lighting, but electricity was in less than one percent of homes, where lighting was provided mainly by candles or gas. 
原句表达逻辑句意：公共地区已经安装电灯，但是电还是在不到1%的家庭中存在，这些家庭的照明任然是被蜡烛或者气提供；
A:原句语义没有问题，先留；
B: and lighting改变了原句的逻辑重心，原句是修饰成分，这里变成了主干成分；
  并且：lighting应该是被提供，而不是主动提供；
C, D There be句型不优选；
E:but less than就变成了public places less than，比较不合理；
  并且：，where变成了修饰electricity，原句是修饰home；语义改变。

E中，where修饰的是electricity，不可以
此外，there be 句型，强调的是physical location of things,  看下面的点赞最多的那个评论

补充一个很小的点： still置于情态动词后,实义动词前.only通常也置于情态动词后,实义动词前;但它的用法很灵活,可以放在被强调的词或成分前.also大都放在情态动词后,实义动词前,偶尔置于句末（摘抄源自：https://www.wangluoliuxing.com/xi_1372944412168468259.html）

如果用there be 句型，强调的是physical location of things, 比如there are 2 cars in the street, 意味着你个人在强调路上有2台车，并且你认为读者是不知道路上有2台车的。
本题中的C/D：there were less than one percent of homes with electricity，就是在强调homes的存在，但是读者已经知道Homes在哪里了，所以就不能用there be句型。（RON原话example:
there were less than 1 percent of homes with electricity
this is bad. first of all, we aren't using the sentence to assert the presence of the homes - they're already understood to be there. (also, it's not really clear where 'there' is.) second, we can easily rephrase this to 'less than 1% of homes had electricity', which is much nicer and more concise.
）
D项的Having也不正确，因为Ver-ing修饰的是前句的entire action, 前句的动词是was, so the modifier doesn't make sense.

(A) 正确, 句子结构简洁; where就近修饰homes, 符合逻辑意思
(B) and lighting still provided省略了was, 因为这里was作为助动词,而前一个并列句的was是系动词,
功能不同,不能省略.
(C) where语法上就近修饰electricity,导致逻辑错误; being多余
(D) was应该改为were, 因为one percent of homes是复数名词; having… 修饰对象不清楚。
(E) where语法上就近修饰electricity,导致逻辑意思错误； had been过去完成时态错误。————摘自cd

abccccccc

考点：修饰 
where引导的定语从句修饰homes，因此homes必须放在句末；
A 正确
B and后面的句子缺少谓语动词；provided是过去分词，表示被动；
C 句子重心发生改变，本来是主语的electricity变成修饰成分；where就近修饰electricity错误；was being provided中being多余；
D 同C,句子中心发生改变；
E where修饰electricity错误；
