The central theatre has a seating __ of more than 3,000 people.
A、capability
B、capacity
C、ability
D、facility
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：本题考查词义辨析。ability主要指天赋的能力或应用知识的才能，应该是属于那种已经具备并发展较快的能力。如“He has unusual ability in science“。capability与ability不同的是，它不仅能用于人，也可用于物，如：Electronic refinements, however, have greatly extended the uses and capabilities of some of the older electrical devices．capacity指容纳或吸收事物的能力，可用于人和物。如“The hall has a seating capacity of 500”。根据句意，本题应该选capacity。
