Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The beggar was blind ________ one eye.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

In English grammar, the preposition "in" is used after the adjective "blind" when referring to a specific eye or eyes (e.g., "blind in the left eye").

The preposition "to" is typically used for figurative blindness, such as being "blind to someone's faults."

Therefore, the most appropriate word to fill in the blank is ‘in’.

Complete Sentence: The beggar was blind in one eye.
