EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Aeyes
- Bestimation
- Cestimate
- Desteem
Explanation
This is the fixed idiom 'in the eyes of', meaning in someone's view or estimation. His misdemeanours lowered his standing in people's view. 'Estimation' and 'esteem' would need different constructions ('in the estimation of'), and 'estimate' is a noun for a calculation. The idiom admits no substitute. Hence eyes, option A, is correct.
