RON 的解释: i chose the correct answer A but still would like to know if we can cross out options on the basis of "likely to be shaped by" vs. "likely shaped by" "likely" can be an adverb; i don't think the latter version is problematic.所以此处并没有绝对错。不能因此排掉B选项。此处问题在“of 80,000 or so of the......”"NUMBER of the PLURAL NOUN" means that there are more than NUMBER of these NOUNs. for instance, if i say "80,000 of the people at the stadium", then there must have been more than 80,000 people at the stadium (and i happen to be talking about some subset consisting of 80,000 of them). -- you can also confidently cross off (b) because it contains the construction "X of Y of Z". they don't include repeated prepositions like that in non-parallel structures.

be likely to是比較標準的用法,改成are likely to be shaped會比較好。of the genes改變句意,are shaped by...the 80000 or so the genes才對

sth/sb be likely to do/ to be done是固定搭配;此处“are likely to be shaped by”更加适合,尽管likely确实可以作为副词修饰句子来表示很可能 (出现了系动词)
