When the eyes were uncovered, sight was not restored. Why?

My teacher says the answer is a potato. But the question states that sight was not RESTORED, which means the object had sight. Did the potato have sight before it's eyes were covered? Someone help me.

I want to believe you're overthinking this.

Oh, Okay

Based on the information you provided, it seems there might be some confusion or misunderstanding regarding the question and the answer given by your teacher. Let's break it down to clarify:

Question: When the eyes were uncovered, sight was not restored. Why?

The question suggests that there was a period where someone or something had sight, but then lost it when their eyes were covered. It is unclear who or what is being referred to in the question.

Your Teacher's Answer: A potato.

Based on your teacher's response, it appears that they are providing a playful or unorthodox answer that may not directly address the question. Assigning sight to a potato does not seem to convey an explanation for why sight was not restored when the eyes were uncovered.

To resolve the confusion and find a more accurate answer, it would be helpful to clarify the context or source of the question. If it is a riddle or puzzle, additional information or clues may be necessary. Communicating with your teacher for further clarification on the intended answer might also be beneficial.
