C. attends
D. attending
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The phrase "with a view to" is always followed by a "gerund (verb + ing)."Step 1: Understand the Meaning of "With a View To"
- The phrase "with a view to" means "with the intention of" or "for the purpose of."
- It must be followed by a "gerund (verb + ing)" rather than an infinitive or base verb.
Step 2: Analyze the Given Options
- Option A: "will attend" (Incorrect – "will attend" is in the future tense, but "with a view to" requires a gerund.)
- Option B: "attend" (Incorrect – "attend" is in the base form, which is not correct after "with a view to.")
- Option C: "attends" (Incorrect – "attends" is in the simple present tense, which does not fit the sentence structure.)
- Option D: "attending" (Correct – "attending" is a gerund, which is the correct form after "with a view to.")
Conclusion: The correct answer is "attending" because "with a view to" must be followed by a "gerund (verb + ing)."

The answer is not understandable to me because when we use passive form that means the subject is not doer and the meaning is passive means subject does not work it is done by something or someone......if we fill the gaps with option C (can... live....) then the subject can be the doer and we can get a nice answer.....
