500.Many psychologists and sociologists now contend that the deliberate and even brutal aggression integral to some forms of competitive athletics increase the likelihood of imitative violence that erupts among crowds of spectators dominated by young adult males.

(A) increase the likelihood of imitative violence that erupts

(B) increase the likelihood that there will be an eruption of imitative violence

(C) increase the likelihood of imitative violence erupting

(D) increases the likelihood for imitative violence to erupt（E）

(E) increases the likelihood that imitative violence will erupt

likelihood, possibility这一类名词的that同位语从句，好像还是所属关

系，没有主语补语关系。所以我觉得，Likelihood of 和likelihood that +从

句意思是类似的。

一般情况下，A that ...，that是A的同位语从句，都可以理解成 A is

that...。就是所谓的主语和补语的关系。
但是likelihood和possibility带同位语从句，不可以这样理解。但是我没有在

语法书上找到对这种现象的解释。语法书上只提到了主补关系。
