7.Although the coordination of monetary policy can help facilitate the orderly financing of existing imbalances, * it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant * in the absence of an appropriate fiscal adjustment.

（A）it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant
（B）it is unlikely that the size of their effect would be significant
（C）affecting their sizes are not likely to be significant
（D）the significance of their effect on its size is unlikely
（E）its effect on their size is not likely to be significant

The answer is (E).

Can anyone tell me the correct usage of "unlikely " in Gmat？

Are the folowing structures correct in Gmat?

It is unlikely to do/be..

Sth is unlikely to do/be..

It is unlikely that...

Sth is unlikely.

Are there any other correct usage of "unlikely " in Gmat?

Help me and thank you.

It is unlikely to do/be..,It is unlikely that...两种用法比较常见。本题考点不是unlikely而是代词指代和简洁表述。

以下是引用lckshb在2003-9-9 9:39:01的发言：
Why A is not correct?

前面的it是一个虚拟代词，与后面的its所指代的对象不一致。而且A没有E简洁。
