Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

First, let's define the relevant terms: These options all express purpose, but they differ in nuance.

Option A: with a view to - This phrase indicates a more formal and long-term goal or intention. It suggests a deliberate plan with a specific aim in mind.

Option B: for - This preposition is very general and can express purpose, but it's less precise than other options. It often implies a reason or cause, but not necessarily a planned action.

Option C: in order that - This phrase introduces a clause that explains the consequence or result of the main action. It shows purpose by focusing on what was intended to happen *as a result* of Dhirubhai's trip.

Option D: in order to - This phrase directly and concisely expresses the purpose of the main action. It shows a deliberate action taken with a specific goal in mind. It's similar to "to" but more emphatic.

Correct Answer: Option D (in order to)

The sentence indicates a direct and clear purpose for Dhirubhai's trip to America: earning money. "In order to" perfectly conveys this direct and intentional action. Dhirubhai went to America *for the purpose of* earning money. This is the most natural and accurate way to express the sentence's meaning.

Why other options are incorrect:

Option A ("with a view to") is too formal for this context. While it suggests a planned action, it's less natural here than "in order to".

Option B ("for") is too vague and doesn't clearly convey the intended purpose as a deliberate action. It's more suitable for explaining a general reason, not a specific goal.

Option C ("in order that") would require a clause explaining the intended consequence. For example, "Dhirubhai went to America in order that he might earn money." This is grammatically correct, but less concise and direct than Option D. The original question didn't include a result clause, making Option D the most suitable choice.

    Beacause in option (A) 'to+infinitive' is there.So it will take V1.

    Why not option A with a view to that indicates the purposes of Dhurivhai's going to America. For also can be answer, but why not A.
