Something doesn't feel 100% correct in the structure of the following statement:
The longer you stay here, the higher the chances are that you'll never get there on time.
My question is, what should I do with the "are"?
- Leave it right where it is.
- Put it after the "higher".
- Put it after the "time".
- Get rid of it altogether.
Thanks

Both 2 and 3 are a little awkward, but 1 and 4 both sound good. Personally I prefer it how you have it now (1).
