Journalist: Every election year at this time the state government releases the financial disclosures that potential candidates must make in order to be eligible to run for office. Among those making a financial disclosure this year is, for the first time ever, the prominent local businessman Arnold Bergeron. There has often been talk in the past of Mr. Bergeron’s running for governor, not least from Mr. Bergeron himself. This year it is likely he finally will, since even supporters of a Bergeron candidacy always conceded that the necessity of making financial disclosures might have proved an insuperable obstacle.

Key to getting this Boldface question correct is identifying the main conclusion, which is this one little statement buried in the passage.
This year it is likely he finally will
