gmat 语法问题
according to scholars, the eatliest writing was probably not a direct rendering of speech, but a separate and distinct symbolc system of communication.
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
E.it wad more likely that it began
这道题选什么?为什么选这个?剩下的为什么错了?
答
的确选a。
考点有两个
1.not。。。but 表示转折，所以前后分句应该平行，sth was not, but was是平行的，而d，e分句的主语变成it，切断了与前面分句的关系，排除。
2.be likely to do ，如果表示“更可能”使用more likely 而不是more than likely,排除b，c

建议你去专业的gmat论坛去问这种问题，例如ShareWithU，很不错的
答
选A首先“be likely to do”是一个固定词组,but后面省略了（主语）,完整应该是“but it was more like to begin as.”,“more”比较级修饰“likely”“更有可能”的意思.but 后“更有可能...”是与but前面的句子做比...
