答案是A。我觉得C也没有问题，是因为太冗杂了吗？但是GMAT不是优先 n of n 的格式吗？ 作者: Xiaotongdi 时间: 2011-10-16 12:40

capability to do或capability of doing，没有in doing。作者: cathyljh 时间: 2011-11-3 20:30
especially & specially 有细微的差别，但是在牛津词典中用especially更为普遍，此处specially起强调作用。 capability to do sth, capability of doing sth, 没有capability in doing sth. 另外在GMAT语法中，无生命的倾向于运用 A of B 的形式，一般不倾向于用A·s B 的形式 但是这个也只是一个有效性错误，也就是说，当五个选项中全是A·s B 时，这个语法因素就要排除出考虑范围
