Correct Answer:
B. of
The phrase 'blind of reason' is used to describe someone who lacks reason or is incapable of rational thought. This differs from 'blind to reason,' which implies an unwillingness to acknowledge or accept reason, despite being capable of understanding it.
- A. 'to' is incorrect here. 'Blind to' means deliberately ignoring or refusing to see something, like 'blind to the truth.'
- B. 'of' is correct. When referring to a deficiency or lack of a faculty, 'blind of' is appropriate, similar to 'blind of one eye.'
- C. 'about' is incorrect; it suggests a topic or concern, not a lack of faculty.
- D. 'in' is incorrect; it typically indicates location or state, not a deficiency of reason.
