B中的表达方式make sth likely这个形式个人感觉别扭
D中的表达方式make sb likely to do这个表发方式不符合习惯
下面是自己在论坛中查到的likely习惯的表达方式:
Likely: Sb. is likely to do sth. --表判断 Sb. is twice/four times as likely assb. to do sth.---比较 Sb. is more likely than sb. to do sth.---比较 Sb. is more likely to do sth. than sb.---比较 It is likely that...sb. will do sth.---表判断 More than likely, sb will do sth.---表判断 (almost certain)
