The correct answer is 'Option 3'.
 
Key Points
  • The sentence describes a student who was fairly "confident" about passing but had past experiences that made him feel "uncertain."
  • The combination "confident, uncertain" aligns with the logical flow of the sentence.
  • The other options, such as "uncertain, confused," "certain, confident," and "confident, certain," do not accurately reflect the contrast implied in the sentence.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
