When talking about uncountable nouns; such as time, coffee, rice, milk, and love; you would need to use more than and less than,
also If you’re talking about countable nouns, like pencils, cars, movies, and games, you would use more than and fewer than to make comparisons of quantity.
#2
The likelihood is a count noun and greater is used for it not more. As the second part of the structure refers to 'likelihood', we need 'greater'. 'greater' is used when a noun is a number. For example percentage, rate, likelihood, distance, and population.

Official Explanation:
Answer: E
Use more to indicate a greater quantity of something but use greater to indicate a difference in the degree of something such as likelihood. Thus, use greater to modify likelihood. This brings us down to C and E. The use of higher to modify practice tests makes no sense in C. More should be used to modify practice tests instead. Therefore, E is the correct answer.
