Đáp án đúng là C

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 not likely that he will arrive at the appointed time. This could be because he is running late, or because something has come up that will prevent him from arriving on time.

The answer choices A, B, and D are all incorrect.

• A. He is unlikely to come early. This answer choice is incorrect because it implies that he is definitely not coming early, but it does not say anything about whether or not he will come on time.
• B. It is likely that he will not come too late. This answer choice is also incorrect because it is the opposite of the original statement. The original statement says that he is unlikely to come on time, which means that it is likely that he will come late.
• D. It seems that he will come lately. This answer choice is incorrect because the word “lately” implies that he will come much later than the appointed time. The original statement does not say how late he will come, so this answer choice is too strong.

The answer choice C. It looks as if he will come late. is the most accurate and concise way to express the meaning of the original statement. It is also the most neutral of the answer choices, as it does not make any assumptions about the reason why he is likely to be late.
