Giải thích chi tiết

The correct answer is C. It looks as if he will come late.

The phrase “unlikely to come on time” means that it is more likely that he will come late than on time. This is the same as saying that it looks as if he will come late.

Answer A is incorrect because it is the opposite of what the original sentence is saying. Answer B is incorrect because it is not as specific as the original sentence. Answer D is incorrect because it is too formal.

Here is an example of how to use the phrase “It looks as if he will come late” in a sentence:

I’m going to start the meeting without him, since it looks as if he will come late.
