Explanation:

1. Vince has an oil - slick obstacle at the end of the ramp and has built up momentum. So, he is likely to crash. Evidence: There is a large oil slick at the end of the ramp and he couldn't stop due to built - up momentum.
2. The two dogs are growling and getting closer to a striking distance. So, they are likely to fight over the bone. Evidence: They are growling, inching towards each other and maintaining eye contact as they approach striking distance.

1. Vince will crash his motorcycle.
2. There is a large oil slick at the end of the ramp and he had already built up too much momentum to stop.
3. The two dogs will fight over the bone.
