Synonyms of "Chances" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between Chances are high that the employee will interact with a computer that processes information and the employee is likely to interact with a computer that processes information ?
A:
Both have the same meaning. Like you said, the former sounds more sophisticated.
Q:
What is the difference between Chances are HIGH that you become homeless in the near future. . and Chances are you become homelss in the near future. and The chance of you becoming homeless is high. ?
A:
Chances are high that you WILL become homeless in the near future.
Chances are you WILL become homeless in the near future.
The chance of you becoming homeless is high.
So, I'd say they all hold almost the same meaning, just a slight difference is you using 'high' in 1st and 3rd sentence, so the possibility of that happening is a bit stronger. Also you added 'in the near future' in the first 2, while in the 3rd one there is no time mentioned, so it might happen even in far future. Other than that, I would say there is no difference except in the sentence order. Hope it helps 🙃
