Correct Answer: Blinded


Solution : The second option is correct.

The original sentence contains a grammatical error.

To correct it, the phrase "blind by a dust storm" should be changed to a participle phrase, which functions as an adjective to describe the subject, and the participle form of blind is blinded .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Blinded by a dust storm, they fell into disorder.
