very hard, I try
we need "to be" because we have "likely", an adjective
we use "or" because in one clause "not" refer to both "have" and "are likely"
"nor" is used to continue negation in 2nd clause and is gramatical. However,we do not need 2 clause. One clause is ok
C is left
for "nor", "or" pls, read general grammar book. but do not read too much and stray away from gmat rules. we are studying gmat grammar, not general gramar

Well, the OA is D
But can anyone explain the answer. I got it all wrong and don't have a clue how D is the answer.

Nor can be used in many ways..
In this case NOR is a continuation of the negative part of the previous half of the sentence.
The report says schools do not have, NOR are THEY likely to have, enough comps....
So hope that clears usage of NOR..
now they ..is because of schools.
Only other Usage of NOR is when it is used as a conjunction...Neither ..NOR... format
Any time u see NOR being used alone...be sure to check for negatives in the previous part of the sentence..(negatives: NOT, NO, NEVER...etc)
I can think of only these two ways GMAT tests us on NOR..
Hope this helps..
cheers

very hard.
we need "or" . A and B are out
we do not need double negative. E is out
"do not " can not refer to "likely" so C is out.
we can say "I do not speak or read English " because "do not " refer to both verbs. this is why C is wrong
my god, very hard
Stacey, Stuart, Ian, help, help pls

Nor is used an conjugation here, connection two clauses.
The report says schools do not have, OR likely to have, enough comps....
See the comma before OR. - means two clause must have a subject.
the report says schools do not have, Nor are schools like to have, Modifier...
