39. According to scholars, the earliest writing was probably not a direct rendering of speech, but was more likley to begin as a separate and distinct symbolc 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 wad more likely that it began

求指教为什么这道OG12 SC sample question 39选B而不选择A, 看了解释知道to begin没有与后面的merged平行,但B这种表达方法对吗？貌似没见过more than likely这种用法，求牛人指点!!! 谢谢

b. Stella Adler, one of the most influential artists in the American theater, trained several generations of actors who include

d. One of the most influential artist in the American theater was Stella Adler, who trained several generations of actors including

为什么选择C, B哪里不好。C的whose ranks included啥意思

补充49啊。记得Manhattan上说过，modifier, n., modifier这种结构很awkward。最好rewriter消灭掉一个Modifier.

万字

more than 是一个短语，likely在这里是副词，我的理解是看的时候可以省掉。A选项中出现more不完整是说，要出现than吧。

49题的B没有谓语啊

LZ提醒我了
句型 not ... but...
所以找平行 找not之前，之前有was了 所以but后面不要was

more than可以作adv修饰likely
可以先不看more than, 看哪个是对的

B 应该用 included吧。
