According to scholars, the earliest writingwas probable not a direct rendering of speech, but was more likely to beginas a separate and distinct symbolic system of communication, and only latermerged 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                                 （B）

(E) it was more likely that it began

这道题答案选（B）,想问一下，B选项官方解释的平行结构是“was not, but began, and merged"。
感觉“was not ,but began”不平行，改成“was not N1,but N2”或者“not was，but began"更平行。
NN们请指教~~

我觉得你跟我一样做SC有时候做的走火入魔了，哈哈，哪里有not was的用法嘛。do和be肯定都在not之前的。

哈哈，我也感觉自己病的不轻~他这个题想说be动词was和实意动词began在not...but结构中平行，那么最平行的方式应该是not was,but began吧。你的解释是，是因为没有not was这样的用法所以才不这么写，而且不这么写也不影响平行结构，是吗？
