Which item is commonly used to identify a blind person?

• A. White cane
• B. Reading glasses
• C. Bright clothing
• D. Hearing aid

Answer: (A)

A white cane is commonly used to identify a blind person. It signals to drivers and others that the person may have limited vision, so they should slow down, stop, or give space as the person navigates and crosses streets. Reading glasses are for correcting vision and do not convey blindness. Bright clothing may improve visibility but doesn’t identify someone as blind. A hearing aid helps with hearing, not vision, so it doesn’t indicate blindness. Recognizing the white cane helps drivers act safely around pedestrians who may be visually impaired.
