选项 A、capable
B、competent
C、able
D、efficient
答案A
解析 惯用搭配题。本句中作者指出：无论如何，有多少父母能够把自己的儿子往最坏处想。capable意为"有能力的"，指人或物均可，表示有"潜在的或能达到一般要求的能力"，后跟of构成搭配，表示具有某种能力。competent和able都表示"有能力的"之意。competent指具有"胜任某一工作的条件"，强调对某项工作有足够的技能及其他所需条件，没有be competent of这种搭配；able一般指人，表示"现在有做某事的能力"，有时意味着"高超的能力或技艺"，用于be able to do sth．这一句型中，不能与of搭配使用；efficient意为"效率高的"，不符合句子语境。
