Explanation

The phrase with a view to is an idiom that means with the intention of or for the purpose of. When to is part of such an idiom (like look forward to, object to, accustomed to, devoted to, etc.), it functions as a preposition and must be followed by a noun or a gerund (the -ing form of a verb).

In this sentence, the purpose of buying the typewriter is to acquire the skill of typing. So, the action required after with a view to should be learning.

Let's analyze the options:

• A. to learning: Learning is a gerund. This fits the grammatical structure with a view to + gerund. The sentence He bought a typewriter with a view to learning to type means he bought it with the intention of acquiring the skill of typing. This is grammatically correct and makes perfect sense.

• B. to learnt: Learnt is the past participle of learn. It is not a gerund and doesn't fit the structure after the preposition to.

• C. to be learning: While being learning is a gerund phrase, to be learning as a whole doesn't typically follow with a view to in this context. Learning directly states the intended action.

• D. to be learnt: This is a passive infinitive. It means to be acquired by someone else, which doesn't fit the active intention of the subject (He).

Therefore, the correct and most natural option is A. to learning.

The complete sentence is: He bought a typewriter with a view to learning to type.

The final answer is A

Correct Answer: B. critically analyse

Correct Answer: D. Klerkdorp

Correct Answer: C. they

Explanation

Comedy is one of the satirical tools used by Athol Fugard to ridicule the racist regime of Pretoria. Comedy is used . as an antidote to the ruthless system of Apartheid. It is a survival technique in the midst of all the dehumanization, frustration and brutality. One of the sources of the comedy in the play is the mimicry of the actions and speeches of characters. The mimicry is particularly made funny so that we can laugh not only at some of the white characters as they climb down from their pedestal of superiority and exhibit human tendencies of fear and anxiety but at the Blackman himself as he exaggerates this fact in mimicry.

We laugh at the way Styles mimics the heavy Afrikaans account of Baas Bradley; we laugh at the way he claps his hand to urge the workers to clean and we laugh at the anxious Baas Bradley painting the safety precautions. We cannot help but laugh at the glee on Styles' face as he mimics himself standing over the crouching Baas Bradley who is painting the safety precautions Styles spells. We are amused at the way Styles poses with his camera in front of an imaginary audience. Even the infectious laughter is funny. We also laugh at the Sizwe - Buntu mimicry. Another source of comedy is the use of invective in the language of Styles. Expressions such as, Big - shot cunt from America, this old fool, Ford is a big bastard, bigger fool, grandmother Baas, South African monkeys, are satirically funny especially given the circumstances in which they are used - to bring out the hatred between the blacks and whites at Ford Motors.

Quite apart from the use of invective, even the language of the play is funny. Styles' description of the war with cockroaches strikes us as particularly ludicrous. The personification of the cockroaches, their recalcitrant behaviour and defiant remonstrances are all funny. Sizwe's explanation of how he was apprehended, the matter-of-fact way that Buntu talks to goad Sizwe out of ignorance bring out the humour with which these serious issues are treated. The character portrayal of Styles, Buntu and Sizwe is also very comical. When Sizwe comes on stage he is. wearing an ill-fitting new double-breasted suit. Styles at Ford's Motors talks of wearing a size 42 overall when his actual size is 38. In their attempt to portray the unpleasant aspects of apartheid the characters strike us as humorous and ludicrous. Also, the exchange between Sizwe and Buntu after their drinking spree, adds to the comedy
