The player was ____ to win the 100-metre hurdles, but he fell to the ground and missed the chance.A.possibleB.probableC.likelyD.maybe
参考答案：
C解析：英语表示“非常可能”、“十有八九”等意思，可用probable/probably或likely。注意,likely既是形容词也是副词。 probable只能用在It is probable that的句型中，而不能说We are probable to do sth。但likely既可用在It is likely that...，也可用在We are likely to do sth的句型中。possible的概率小于probable， It is possible(for sb)to do sth/that从句的句型。这句话的主语是the player，所以用C。
