WHY>>> is 2 wrong
what's the real source here? this is obviously not from the gmat, since the gmat NEVER includes first- or second-person pronouns. i.e., NO gmat SC problem will ever involve "i", "you", "we", "us", "me", "my", "your". never.
in any case, though, the deciding factor here is just idiomatic usage.
likely in VERBing is not idiomatic
likely to VERB is idiomatic
pronoun case is a non-issue here, since the pronouns are in the same case anyway.
