English Sentence Correction QUESTION #4908
Question 1
A President entering the final two years of a second term _____ carry out a legislative program.
  • likely to be at a severe disadvantage and is often unable to✔️
  • likely severely disadvantaged and often unable to
  • liable to be severely disadvantaged and cannot often
  • liable that he or she is at a severe disadvantage and cannot often
Correct Answer Explanation
Likely to be' is the correct idiom and 'is often unable to' provides the needed parallel auxiliary structure. 'Liable' in options C and D implies legal responsibility, which is the wrong meaning here. Option E (not shown) is structurally incoherent. Option B omits a linking verb, making 'likely' a dangling adjective.
