Answer 2

Answer:

Unlikely

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go over the four terms and what they mean.

Likely: Greater than 50% (1/2) and less than 100% (1) chance

Certain: 100% (1) chance or more

Unlikely: Less than 50% (1/2) chance, greater than 0% (0) chance

Impossible: 0% (0) chance

Since 1/8 is less than 50% (also known as 1/2) but greater than 0% (also known as 0),  the correct term is unlikely.
