Question
Choose the words in italics which are not possible.
What is the difference in meaning (if any) between the two correct options?
Answer
a)
option
hopeless
doubt
chance
hope
doubt
any chance
doubt
b)
no chance = no possibility; no doubt = certainty
doubtful = unlikely; possible = there is a chance
haven't a hope /chance = same meaning
remote / slim = same meaning
bound / sure = same meaning
likelihood / chance = same meaning
every likelihood = a slightly better chance than a distinct possibility
chance / hope both refer to possibility, hope implies a more personal involvement in the outcome
