We start by calculating the probability for each event.

**Event 1: Rolling a number less than 10 on a twelve-sided die**

A twelve-sided die has outcomes $$1, 2, \ldots, 12$$. Numbers less than 10 are $$1$$ through $$9$$.

$$
\text{Probability} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4} = 75\%
$$

**Event 2: Spinning a spinner divided into four equal-sized sections and landing on green**

Since the spinner is divided into four equal sections:

$$
\text{Probability} = \frac{1}{4} = 25\%
$$

**Event 3: Winning a raffle that sold a total of 100 tickets, if you buy 93 tickets**

There are 93 winning tickets out of 100:

$$
\text{Probability} = \frac{93}{100} = 93\%
$$

**Event 4: Reaching into a bag full of 31 strawberry chews and 49 cherry chews without looking and pulling out a strawberry chew**

The total number of chews is:

$$
31 + 49 = 80
$$

The probability of pulling a strawberry chew is:

$$
\text{Probability} = \frac{31}{80} \approx 38.75\%
$$

**Comparison:**

- Event 1: $$75\%$$
- Event 2: $$25\%$$
- Event 3: $$93\%$$
- Event 4: $$38.75\%$$

The event with the highest probability is **winning the raffle**, which is approximately $$93\%$$.
Winning the raffle is the most likely event with a $$93\%$$ chance.
