capability of doing sth.在gmat中到底算不算wordy？

如题。。。
我记得OG中貌似说过。。capability of doing /in doing 都是wordy的，但是我找不到哪个题了。。。。囧囧。。。
我知道capability of doing 这种用法在英语中正确，我只想问在gmat中这种用法对不对。。
请大家赐教

只要在其他选项中能够找到用一个单词代替的基本上都算wordy
这个的话我记得那道题有can 那么就肯定选can了

同楼上的，manhattan也prefer can
基本是can比be able to do啊，have ability to do啊都好~
不过我认为，一般情况下是这样
选项中还要看其他情况~
不过capability of doing /in doing 确实是相当wordy 的！

具体问题, 具体分悉...

总之是错误中选最好的...其实很多题目都有问题, 只不过是问题大和小的事情....

243. (GWD-10-Q8)
Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal with all other pollutants.
A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal
B. an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's capability of dealing
C. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing
D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal
E. a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's ability to deal

A Correct;ability to deal使用简洁;respiratory system's ability可以
题目释义:Sulfur dioxide, ... , is...pollutant because it diminishes...ability to deal with... 考点:
习惯用语(idiom) 句子结构(grammatical construction)
1. capability to do;GMAT认为capability of X-ing/in X-ing是wordy/awkward的。
2. ability:sb's ability to do sth或ability of sb/sth to do sth
3. capability to do不如ability to do简洁,但不可就此判错。

想问一下前辈有没有看过 manhattan中idiom一章，书中给了好多suspect的idiom，这些I是都都可以认为那样用时不对的？
