以下是引用ad264在2008/5/21 0:08:00的发言：
楼主问的or 跟nor这个问题我也等待高人回答。

至於are的部分，
One report concludes that many schools do not
have, or
  likely(adv)
to have

由於likely是adv，代表or省了subject跟verb，往前找看省了什麽？
many schools(subject) do not have(verb) likely(adv) to have
这样句子怪怪

且 be likely to 是习惯用法。

或许否定句中or用法是用於名词类，至於动词类可能是另一条规则。

Please correct me if i am wrong.

这里likely是adj.吧

Longman解释：

like·ly¹
        W1S1
        /ˈlaɪkli/
        adj comparative
        likelier
        superlative
        likeliest
        
something that is likely will probably happen or is probably true
≠ unlikely
　Snow showers are likely tomorrow.
likely to do/be sth
　Children who live in the country's rural areas are very likely to be poor.

likely²
            adv
            
probably
most/very likely
　I'd very likely have done the same thing in your situation.
(as) likely as not
spoken (=very probably)
　As likely as not, the meeting will take place in the village pub.

            not likely!
spoken especially BrE used to disagree strongly, or to say that something will not happen
　'He said you'd be giving them a lift.' 'Not likely!'

这道题的官方答案D违反了一个以往惯用的原则，同一个代词不能指代不同的事物。they,them,their都属于同一个代词。

而D的they 指代 schools, them指代 computers...

这样，又一个在GWD和OG里通用的原则被丢弃了。

Ron原话：pronoun ambiguity is NOT an absolute rule

The Gmat will usually tolerate pronoun ambiguity if:
1.The context is obvious
2.The pronoun is parallel to the intended noun
3.The pronoun is not parallel to the other nouns

因此，过分依赖代词指代来判断选项对错是非常危险和死板的。

你找的連結很好，里面也有提到名词短语，是or > nor这一题考的是 without A or B的用法，拿or 跟nor 作混淆 ...

同意！               

Adela加油

do not  have,  ______   likely  to have, 很显然，这两部分中have（动词）是并列的；
语意来看，是二者都“not have”， 如果用or， 不想要表达 not have并列，只能说明or 后面的部分应该是个名词，do not have A, or B, 这样的表达是可以的；
但是如果需要have动词平行，就应该用 nor，需要表达出“既不..也不...”的意思
