Meaning of "Unlikely" The sentence below is an excerpt of an article telling about Oscar Wilde. I'm a little bit unsure of my understanding concerning the part between square brackets[]. He succeeded (in attaining his ambition), of course, and his notoriety poses a problem for biographers [unlikely to discover anything new about the great aesthete.] Q. Is the "unlikely" here an adjective which modifies "biographers"? If so, what is the synonym which has the closest meaning to that of the "unlikely" used here? Thank you for reading to this end. Perhaps you would explain.
