Young drivers are far more likely to have accidents than older drivers.the mostlikely cause
of the problem
也正如OG的解释，more likely表示比较是要加than的，不是more likely..than..就是more than likely.另外，likely可以用作表语，定语，以及较少用到的状语，如OG这道题。
39. According to scholars, the earliest writing was probable not a direct rendering of speech, but was more likely to begin as a separate and distinct symbolic system of communication, and only later merged with spoken language.
(A) was more likely to begin as
(B) more than likely began as
(C) more than likely beginning from
(D) it was more than likely begun from
(E) it was more likely that it began
为什么不是选A？不是be likely to do sth.嘛？

书上这么说的：
A. In this context, more likely is not a complete idiomatic expression; was...to begin is not parallel to was and merged.
B. Correct. "in this sentence, more than likely is the correct compararive constrction; the simple past tense began, parallel to was and merged, fits grammatically into the sentence."
谢谢小公主mm告诉我：
"in this sentence, more than likely is the correct compararive constrction; the simple past tense began, parallel to was and merged, fits grammatically into the sentence."
A. In this context, more likely is not a complete idiomatic expression; was...to begin is not parallel to was and merged.
ets怎么可以这样，明明是be more likely to do，非要拆成两部分说不对，真是的。
但这里的not...but...好像不平行呀
很有道理~
题干中是 “was not...but...”
选a的话就成了“was not ...but was...”系动词的就乱套了，后一个was打乱了原来的结构
还是不清楚be more likely to do/that从句 与 more than likely 的区别到底是什么？
OG上说后者是表示两者间的比较，那前者呢，是表示更大的可能性吗？那前者也是一种可能性的比较啊，not X, but more than likely Y。
哪位NN帮忙解答一下，谢谢。
84NN,尝试回答一下，Longman对likely的解释中的一项：
Young drivers are far more likely to have accidents than older drivers.the most顶了再看，真是困惑呀
同意11楼，more likely是要加than的，而且不止这里，所有的出现比较级的情况都需要加than和比较主体，比如OG11th-88题就说明了这点。
我想问的是前人也问过但没有得到解决的问题，
把正确答案带入原句中为
Acccording to scholars, the earliest writing was probably not a direct rendering of speech, but more than likely began as a ...system of communication,and only later merged with...
not...but...不是要平行么??这里根本都不是平行结构吧？？
另外，句子后面的“,and”后面不是应该跟一个完整的有主谓结构的句子么？
即使不跟一个完整的句子，也要是“X1, X2, and X3”结构，其中X1,X2,X3要完全平行，要么都是名词性短语，要么都是动词结构
难道本句里面是这样平行的“the writing was not..., but began...., and merged...”？？？这样也不对啊，began之前是有but的啊！
不解！！！望解答！！！
