Language immersion experiences are valuable because they can quickly teach students who may be unlikely to learn the language in other settings or months of regular teaching.


(A) who may be unlikely to learn the language in other settings or months of regular teaching

(B) whose learning the language is unlikely in other settings or months of regular teaching

(C) who might not learn the language in other settings or during months of regular teaching

(D) who may not learn the language under other settings or months of regular teaching

(E) unlikely not to learn the language during months of regular teaching or in other settings

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:

The sentence as written implies the students may be unlikely to learn the language in other months of regular teaching. For example, they may be unlikely to learn in January and February. This would imply that they may be able to learn in March and April, for example. This is clearly not the intention of the sentence. Eliminate A, B and D. ‘Under’ in D is also incorrect. E reverses the meaning by adding ‘not’. C is correct.
