The unknown and the blind

Hello Friends;

In this sentence:

So, are we left with the unknown and the blind groping in front of us?

we should consider "unknown" and "blind" as noun, I mean the unknown (people, things) and the blind people, or they are adjectives for "groping"?

generally, what is the structure of this sentence?

anonymous G enerally, what is the structure of this sentence? It is normal interrogative form with inversion of subject and verb. It is a complex sentence with the main clause and a non-finite subordinate clause (with the verb "groping") "the + adjective" forms a "collective adjective" and it is used as a plural noun.
