option 3 was supposed to be:

Webster's definition of illiterate:
1: having little or no education ; especially : unable to read or write <an illiterate population>
2 a: showing or marked by a lack of familiarity with language and literature <an illiterate magazine> b: violating approved patterns of speaking or writing
3: showing or marked by a lack of acquaintance with the fundamentals of a particular field of knowledge <musically illiterate>
so losing the ability to see text will not make you illiterate

No. If I were blind I would try twice as hard.
