问题         After three years of precise analysis, X-rays and infra-red (红外线的) imaging, experts claim to have uncovered the only surviving portrait of William Shakespeare painted during his life. The canvas (油画) is thought to have been painted in 1610—six years before the playwright’s death— when he was about 46 years old.
        For three centuries the family who kept it was【C1】_______of the identity of the figure in the portrait.

I am willing to go 90 percent of the way to declaring my confirmation that this is the only life time portrait of Shakespeare. It marks a【C10】_______development in the history of Shakespearian portraiture."
        The painting was displayed finally at The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon on April 23, Shakespeare’s birthday.

选项
答案O
解析 由后一句可知，这幅画一度被认为是沃尔特·雷利爵士的画像。因此可以推断，3个世纪以来，收藏这幅画的科比家族并不清楚画上人物的身份。结合选项可知，unsure“不确定的”符合句意，故为答案。
