(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

答案选A，我选C。
不是说必须是有生命的人才可以用's格式所有格吗？ system's ability也是对的？

有生命的才可以用所有格 是初中高中老师说的貌似，GMAT从来没有说过》。。

用排除法做嘛，首先it 不存在只带问题，所以排除 because of....

然后gmat 鄙视 the capability of 结构，认为其 wordy，所以答案就选 A了

Capability is the ability to perform actions

但是不仅限于此，capablity更注重说一种潜能，而ability注重于说已经拥有的能力。

专四的完形填空里面净是这玩意，语言和语义是没法区分的，呵呵

OG中出现的没有生命的东西用所有格的情况很多，虽然有生命才能用's是赵丽说的，但她也说过差异点即为考点和语法第一意思第二简洁第三(OG说的GMC原则）

's是C， 而capability跟ability的区别是M，先看M.
