i need your help dear colleagues
 

My little mathematical ability should (able) .enable...................... me to study the theoretical part of the pilot �s course. My (view)..vision.................... is 10 / 10 and I am above the average in (high).height.................... . Achieving my ambition may not be possible, but I have at (little) .................least.......... the satisfaction of having a goal before me and the desire (reach) .to reach................. it will give me sufficient motivation. 

can you  tell me please if the word vision and view is related to each other or should i change the word view. Normally we say my vision is 10/10 not my view. So please tell me if im allowed to put my view in parenthesis in this situation or not .

thank you for your helpSmile

the noun from the verb view is also "view" which means an opinion, a way of understanding, a sight but not the ability to see which is "vision" so i think it needs to be changed.

Here �s my take: view is something a person sees, and from that we get the meaning of opinion, or to have an opinion, as foufafadwa noted. Vision is the ability to see, and we always use vision to refer to 10/10, or 20/20 as we say in the USA.
 
Here are the correct answers for the passage as a whole. I put the correct answers in red as you had done.
