Question

Choose the sentence which is grammatically correct from the options given below.

• A. He is capable to support himself.
• B. He is capable for supporting himself.
• C. He is capable of supporting himself.
• D. He was capable to support himself.

Hint:

When using "capable," always follow it with "of" + the gerund form (-ing) of the verb to express ability.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The correct sentence uses "capable of" to express ability or capacity. The phrase "capable of" is always followed by a gerund (the -ing form of the verb), which in this case is "supporting." Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He is capable of supporting himself." Options (1), (2), and (4) are incorrect because they use incorrect prepositions or verb forms.
