Answer:

The person most likely to be the president of the House is the candidate who received the largest number of electoral votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea is that the president of the House of Representatives is the candidate who received the absolute majority of the votes, which is usually the candidate who belongs to the marjoritary party in the House. However, if that candidate does not receive an absolute majority of votes, it is most likely that the candidate who received the highest number of electoral votes will be promoted to president of the House.
