Explanation

The sentence structure 'showed considerable [noun]' requires a noun. 'Talent' fits correctly as a noun meaning natural aptitude or skill. 'Capabilities' is grammatically correct but talent specifically emphasizes natural ability rather than learned capacity. 'Expertise' and 'gift' could work but talent is most idiomatic for getting what you want.
