To determine which event is most likely to happen, let's evaluate each option based on their probabilities:

1. **Randomly picking a vowel letter from the English alphabet**: There are 5 vowel letters (A, E, I, O, U) out of 26 total letters. Probability = 5/26 ≈ 0.1923.

2. **Randomly picking a consonant from the English alphabet**: There are 21 consonant letters (26 total letters - 5 vowels). Probability = 21/26 ≈ 0.8077.

3. **Getting a 6 when rolling a single dice once**: There is 1 outcome of getting a 6 out of 6 possible outcomes. Probability = 1/6 ≈ 0.1667.

4. **Getting a head from a single toss of a fair coin**: There are 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails) and 1 favorable outcome (heads). Probability = 1/2 = 0.5.

Now comparing the probabilities:
- Picking a vowel: ≈ 0.1923
- Picking a consonant: ≈ 0.8077 (most likely)
- Getting a 6 on a die: ≈ 0.1667
- Getting heads on a coin: 0.5

**The most likely event is randomly picking a consonant from the English alphabet.**
