Fill in the blanks:
We go there ______ a view ______ studying English.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → with, to
With a view to means with the aim or intention of doing something. In this phrase to is a preposition, so it is followed by the -ing form: "We go there with a view to studying English."
Complete sentence: We go there with a view to studying English.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: with, by — Incorrect. The fixed phrase is "with a view to". "With a view by" is not used.
Option 2: without, to — Incorrect. "Without a view to" would mean they go there with no aim of studying, which defeats the purpose stated in the sentence. The phrase is always "with a view to".
Option 4: about, by — Incorrect. Neither "about a view" nor "a view by" forms a correct phrase.
