-  {{Event/BUBBLING_PHASE}}. When false (or not present), <b>callback</b> will not be invoked when
-  <a>event</a>'s {{Event/eventPhase}} attribute value is {{Event/CAPTURING_PHASE}}. Either way,
-  <b>callback</b> will be invoked if <a>event</a>'s {{Event/eventPhase}} attribute value is
-  {{Event/AT_TARGET}}.

We've had this discussion before :). `options` is not a class of values; it is a single JS value. So it's not really plural in the grammatical sense that would trigger leaving off the s, where `capture` belongs to a collection of options.

Stated another way, here "options" is short for "options variable", which is not plural.

A case where it would be plural is "the stock options' combined value was a billion dollars."
