[注意]likely與possible在結構搭配上的區別。likely可用於下列句型中：1)it is likely that...例如：it is highly likely that he will succeed.（很可能他會成功。）2)think(feel, consider)it likely ...例如：i think it likely that we will ultimately get a certain amount of money.3)be likely to do sth.例如：he is likely to see you again .但下面的句型是錯誤的，it is likely for sb to do sth.所以think it likely for sb. to do sth.也是錯誤的，故本題不能選likely.
