Correct Answer: He has a keen eye for business and every year his firm makes a great profit.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation: The use of the indefinite article "a" before "keen eye" is appropriate in this context. The indefinite article is used when referring to a non-specific item or quality, and in this case, it indicates that the person has a general ability or skill in business rather than a specific, unique eye for business. The article "a" is correctly used to introduce this non-specific quality.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "He has a keen eye for business, and every year his firm makes a great profit."
