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.

选项
答案G
解析 副词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格所在的定语从句主干结构完整，故空格处应为副词，修饰skeptical。由空格后的“My first impression was skepticism”可以推断，韦尔斯教授一开始对这幅画持怀疑态度，所以应填入G)initially“起初”。
