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



in A may be unlikely is redundant
or is the parallel marker , and the sentence must be of the form x or y
in D the parallelism is not maintained
if we look at C , we have prepositional phrase or prepositional phrase , in other settings or during months of regular teaching
In E unlikely not to learn changes the meaning of the sentence

In option c two phrases "in other settings" and "during months of regular teaching" are clearly parallel.
In option D two Phrases under other settings and months of regular teaching are not conveying the meaning.

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.
