A colour blind person is not able to ____________ between colours.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. distinguish.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. distinguish- to recognize the difference between two things or people.
  2. define- to say exactly what a word or idea means.
  3. observe- notice or perceive (something) and register it as being significant.
  4. glance- to look quickly at somebody/something.

"Colour blind"- the decreased ability to see colour or differences in colour.

Unable to see the difference meaning unable to distinguish.

Hence, the chosen option will suit the blank.

The correct sentence will be-

A colour blind person is not able to distinguish between colours.
