四選一
Even after reading the instructions, the assistant remained ____ about which folder to use.
看答案
unsure
逐一代入後，只有形容詞 unsure 能在 remained 後描述助理持續不確定的狀態，並接 about。surely 是副詞；sureness 是表示確定感的抽象名詞，不能在此把助理描述成一種確定感；assure 是動詞原形，不能直接接在 remained 後。
同義改寫

unsure 與 not certain 在此都表示不確定會議是否已改到週四。
Nina felt unsure of herself during her first team briefing. → Nina lacked confidence in herself during her first team briefing.
unsure of herself 在此表示缺乏自信，與 lacked confidence in herself 對應。
