aim at or aim to..

by welcome » Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:48 am
From SC 1000 Qs.

913. Violence in the stands at soccer matches has gotten so pronounced in several European countries that some stadiums have adopted new rules that aim to identify fans of visiting teams and that seat them in a separate area.

(A) to identify fans of visiting teams and that seat them
(B) to identify fans of visiting teams and seat them
(C) to identify fans of visiting teams for seating
(D) at identifying fans of visiting teams so as to seat them
(E) at identifying fans of visiting teams and that seat them


OA is B.

Here my question is, as per MGMAT-SC page no. 181, aim should come with at, not with to.

Will appeciate the help.
Shubham.

IMO B

Both "aim to" and "aim at" are correct. Please refer the link below.

https://gmat-grammar.blocked/2007/0 ... im-at.html

we need aim to here.

D and E out.

Crux of a sentence is to identify fans and make them sit in separate area , C out

We don't need that again , A OUT

OA pls?
