D

we need a negative connotation..Eliminate A and C

Note: we can use "or" , "nor" independently

E is rubbish

B and D

I choose D

The use of ‘nor’ requires an inversion of the subject and the verb (usually the auxiliary verb).

D is correct.

But, is the "are" in D used correctly? should not it be "do"???

"are" is plural and correct

Ideally, it must be "do" but we have to see the best in the choices and not in the universe !!

Thanks Iamcste,

One more Q: is there an idiom like: to be likely to have?
May be "to do likely to have" is an incorrect idiom
what do you think?

Latter is akward and former one depends on the usage ( Looks good but is wordy)
