Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: mystery


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Mystery is a suitable choice to convey the idea that there are unknown or unclear elements, emphasising the lack of information or documentation about certain parts of Shakespeare's life due to the absence of an autobiography. It captures the sense that there are aspects that remain puzzling or undisclosed.

Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is mystery.
