Here you can see both the kun-yomi and on-yomi of 「見」 in one sentence. 目 means “eye”, and 見て is the て-form of “to see”.
The phrase 見当をつける means “to make an educated guess”.
This example shows how kanji and kana work together: kanji carry the main meaning, while kana provide structure and flow. Some kanji are read with kun-yomi, others with on-yomi — and they can appear together in the same sentence.
