发表拙见:

nor are they likely to have是插入语,所以和主句非并列,指代也就不需要一致.

个人意见：无论是不是插入语，逻辑意思上，第一个they肯定是向前指代学校。而后面的them向前指代computers。逻辑意思正确是最关键的。

指代一致不能当作实战的主要判断方法,只能作为辅助的判断

那請問一下是否選B呢??因為這樣就不會產生代名詞指代不一致的問題?!  thanks

这个解释有些道理。

Ok this one is difficult for me to explain bc we just know this as proper english and I'm not too sure the technical reason. We use "nor" when we have two phrases that are in the same category, here we have "do not have" and "likely to have" which are both describing schools. Schools here is "they".
Example: I have concluded that my students have not yet studied, nor are they likely to study, for tomorrow's English Exam.
two categories "not yet" and "not likey to" in the same topic "study".
The subject is "they": "my students"
