						Hi, What is the difference between these 2 forms? 
be promoted x get promoted
There is an example:
It's very unlikely that we will promote Barbara this month.
chance
There is very little...............................................this month
The correct answer: chance of Barbara being promoted
Can the right answer be "chance of Barbara getting promoted" ? 
Thank a lot.
					
				 
				
						
														
					
												Getting is conversational/relaxed/informal, not likely to be the correct choice in an educational test.
