It is likely that

Besides, should you discover in yourself a fondness for great reading, then it is likely that in no season of your life will you become incurably bored or feel totally alone – even when there is nothing on television.



A) surely B)certainly C) likely D)possibly



I have two questions about this sentence.



1) Does this sentence correct? (I mean without and before , then)

2) C) likely is the answer, and I like it best in that place; I take likely as an adj. (Right?) But could other three adverbs also construct a grammatical sentence in the place?

Hi again You certainly work hard today! The sentence is correct as it stands and likely is indeed an adjective. CB

Hi, hi Emotion: smile

Word says it's incorrect. But now I see, it IS correct.

Thank you again and again.

And in answer to your second question, no: the adverbs would not be grammatical.

Rather, you would say "it is certain that", "it is probable that", etc.

PS: "Does this sentence correct?" ? "Is this sentence correct?"
