Seems like vs seems likely
Hi teachers, could you help me one grammar question ?
It seems [like/likely] that diseases associated with aging, not the aging process itself, cause decline in one’s ability to learn.
In this sentence, I think it’s okay to use both (like and likely) but the answer to this question is likely according to the answer sheet.
