Question: 1 / 400

What does “most likely” refer to?

A guarantee that something will happen

The least possible outcome

The best chances of happening

“Most likely” refers to a situation where an event or outcome has the highest probability of occurring compared to other possible outcomes. This choice indicates that among all the available options, the one described by “most likely” has the greatest chance of happening, though it does not guarantee certainty.

In contrast, the other options do not capture this idea effectively. A guarantee implies absolute certainty, which is not the case when discussing likelihood. The least possible outcome suggests a low probability, which contradicts the meaning of “most likely.” A random guess lacks any basis for predicting an outcome and does not imply a higher probability, focusing instead on randomness. Thus, the selection of “the best chances of happening” accurately reflects the essence of what “most likely” conveys in terms of probability.
