Hi! I find that both “with the aim to” and “with a view to” have the meaning of “with the hope of doing something”, but the provided answer is only the latter one. Did I misunderstand the phrases? 🙏🏻
"I wrote to my bank manager _______ to getting a loan."
A. with the aim
B. with a view

I don't particularly like either sentence, but B is the better answer.
To fix A, you need to write "I wrote to my bank manager with the aim TO GET a loan. Since "to get" is an infinitive it can act as a noun, adjective, or adverb. In this case it is an adjective that modifies "aim".
"To getting" is not an infinitive. It cannot modify anything. "Getting" can be a noun, adjective, or adverb, but "to getting" cannot do these things. Since "getting a loan" acts as a noun, it makes sense to talk about "the aim OF getting a loan".
"View" works differently. You can have a view to a place: "from his room he has a view to France". If you think of "getting a loan" as a place, then a "view to getting a loan" makes sense.

With the aim ..' should be followed by OF + the ing form of the verb
With the aim of getting a loan. And it has a similar meaning to With a view to..
