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.

1. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal[C1] 

2. an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s capability of dealing[C2] 

3. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing[C3] 

4. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal[C4] 

5. a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s ability to deal[C5]

 偶选了C，答案是A，偶觉得选A还不如D，system’s ability 不应该是og的表达方式。而且it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal，to deal究竟是修饰it还是修饰system’s ability 都有疑问。

A is correct.

You should use the same question to question choice C instead of A.

那D呢？

我觉得D比A好啊！

 C我倒觉得没什么歧义，就是那个不定搭配没见过。

D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal

偶觉得A没问题，D中specially的意思与原文的especially不同。

C中的capability用法不是那样的，应该是capability to。

虽然有人说ability只是说人，或者有生命的，但是。。。偶觉得这种想法是一厢情愿滴，反正OG和什么语法书上没见到过。

同意其看法， to do修饰名词会造成歧义，这里的to deal可能修饰system`s ability 也可能修饰主句

请NN赐教！
