When a question asks for ability you should explain what makes you able to undertake the task, referring to past experience or transferable skills. For example, you may not have experience of using a particular computer program but your high level of computer literacy may indicate that you will have the ability to use it once trained. Say how you would carry out the task and what would be particularly important.
