Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
What does Tom think about getting new investors?
It doesn't seem possible or probable.
It is guaranteed to happen.
Doesn't look likely suggests the opposite — it means something is improbable, not certain.
It will definitely fail.
Doesn't look likely means it's improbable, but not a guaranteed failure.
It seems highly probable.
Tom's phrase means the opposite — he believes it is not very probable.

The phrase doesn't look likely means that something seems improbable or unlikely to happen. For example:
It doesn't look likely that we'll finish the project on time. - It seems improbable that the deadline will be met.
With this weather, it doesn't look likely that we'll have a picnic today. - The rain or bad weather makes a picnic seem improbable.
Tom uses this phrase to emphasize the low probability of securing new investors, even though it might help if it did happen.
