Here- the sentence presents a prediction made by traffic safety officials- They predict that the chances that drivers will exceed the proposed speed limit is equal to the chances that they exceed the current speed limit- However- in order to make preceding meaning clear- the sentence should make use of the correct idiomatic phrase -apos-as-as-apos- instead of the incorrect -apos-equally-as-apos- Due to this reasoning- options A and B are incorrect- Option C too has the same error- The use of -apos- -likely that-apos- instead of simply -apos-likely to do-apos- in option D is also incorrect- This results in option E as being the correct answer-xA0-
