One report concludes that many schools do not have, or likely to have, enough computers to use them effectively.

(A) or
(B) nor
(C) or are
(D) nor are they
(E) nor are not

My analysis:

"Clause + Or/Nor + Clause" should be the correct way.

"Schools do not have, or are likely to have" should be correct because the subject they is understood.

Experts, please explain why option C is wrong.

Thanks.

is it B?
When you want to negate the 'second' part of two negative clauses, you should nor and not or.

C would mean that schools either don't have or do have enough computers. That doesn't make sense. THe sentence is trying to say that they either don't have enough or they are likely to not have enough.
