P lose a turn on his next turn=7/8

since there is a chance of 7/8 he lose a turn in his next turn

we can discard impossible

since the probability is not 100% we can discard certain

since we don't have enough information to know if Elijah has 50/50 change of losing

then

the answer is Likely

since there is a chance different of 50%
