大全987-19 我的也凑凑热闹吧

19. A President entering the final two years of a second term is likely to be at a severe disadvantage and is 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

答案是A,想问问C为什么不行，不是更简洁吗

个人觉得，C的逻辑意思不对，把C代入，简化下句子：A president is liable to be severely disadvantaged.原文要表达的意思是总统很可能处于不利的位置，而C表示的是总统很可能被处于不利的位置，变成了被动,似乎是有人使他变的不利了。

非牛人

LDOCE:

liable to do something
            likely to do or say something or to behave in a particular way, especially because of a fault or natural tendency [= likely]:

The car is liable to overheat on long trips.

He was liable to just show up without warning.

新东方王少华的解释：把likely改成liable是个典型错误，因为表达意思不一样的

为什么B 不可以呢
