b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5

ANSWER: 3
 
Replace ‘within’ with ‘in’

The correct expression should be ‘blind in one eye’

The correct sentence should be: His mentor, Rana Keshav was blind in one eye.

General use of In, Within

‘In’, means at the expiry of a time-period in future;

within means before the expiry of a time-period in any tense.

Example: He will return in a week.
I will finish my work within a week.
