A President entering the final two years of a second term is likely to be at a severe disadvantage and ^ often unable to carry out a legislative program. a. likely to be at a severe disadvantage and is often unable to b. likely severely disadvantaged and often unable to c. liable to be severely disadvantaged and cannot often d. liable that he or she is at a severe disadvantage and cannot often e. at a severe disadvantage, often likely to be unable that he or she can Choice A is best. Choice B lacks the necessary infinitive after likely. In B and C, disadvantaged, which often means "hampered by substandard economic and social conditions," is less precise than at a disadvantage. In C and D, cannot often carry out suggests that a President with limited time suffers only from an inability to achieve legislative goals frequently, not from a frequent inability to achieve them at all. In C, liable, followed by an infinitive, can legitimately be used to express probability with a bad outcome, but C is otherwise flawed as noted. D's liable and E's unable should be followed by an infinitive rather than by a relative clause beginning with that.

the key for the first question is the meaning of at a disadvantage--it precisely expresses what author want to say.
for the second question,also we should think it over by the sentence's meaning, here is telling a statement usually happen whenever, it's like telling a truth. therefore, "remain" should parallel to "put".
