Đáp án đúng là C

Giải thích chi tiết

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

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

Answer A, “He is unlikely to come early,” is not the same as saying that he will come late. It is possible that he will come on time, just not early.

Answer B, “It is likely that he will not come too late,” is also not the same as saying that he will come late. It is possible that he will come on time, or even early.

Answer D, “It seems that he will come lately,” is not the same as saying that he will come late. The word “lately” means “recently,” and does not necessarily mean that he will come late today.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. It looks as if he will come late.

Good job remembering the current time!
