The correct option to fill in the blanks in the sentence “He bought a typewriter with a view … to type” is A. to learning. So, the completed sentence is: “He bought a typewriter with a view to learning to type.”

Here’s why:

• A. to learning: This is the correct option. The phrase “with a view to” is usually followed by a gerund (-ing form of the verb). So, “to learning” fits perfectly in this context.

• B. to learnt: This option is incorrect because “learnt” is the past tense or past participle of the verb “learn”. It doesn’t fit grammatically after “with a view to”.

• C. to be learning: This option is incorrect because “to be learning” is in the present continuous tense, which doesn’t fit with the phrase “with a view to”.

• D. to be learnt: This option is incorrect because “to be learnt” suggests that something needs to be learned, which doesn’t fit with the phrase “with a view to”.

• E. as most quickly as: This option is incorrect because it doesn’t make sense grammatically or semantically in this context.
