答案是A， C错在哪？A 中respiratory system’s capability 看上去不是OG中的典型错误吗？看了以前的贴还是没有答案，请指教！

应该是capability of sb(sth) of doing sth.

谢谢先！

那就是说在没有最好的，只能选更好的了？就讲究A了，是吗？

A 中是the respiratory system’s ability to 不是system's capability 是粗心没看清把！

另补：especially here means to particularly great degree. 例如，an especially difficult problem

special 强调different,unusual

specially: is usually used when you do sth that is different from what you usually do for a particular purpose.

capability ability 的用法不一样的， 另外especially specially 用法也不同，大家注意区分。
