四選一
The purchasing assistant plans to ____ with the vendor for a lower price on the desks.
看答案
bargain
plans to 後接原形動詞，故選 bargain。bargaining 雖可作動名詞，但不符合此處不定詞 to 加原形動詞的結構；bargained 是過去式／過去分詞，bargains 是第三人稱單數動詞或複數名詞，也都不適用。
同義改寫
The office bought the filing cabinet for half its usual price, so it was a real bargain. → The office bought the filing cabinet for half its usual price, so it was a very good buy.
在已說明以平常價格一半購入的語境中，a very good buy 與 a real bargain 都表示這項採購很划算。
The purchasing assistant bargained with the vendor for a lower price on the desks. → The purchasing assistant negotiated with the vendor to try to get a lower price on the desks.
兩句都表示採購助理為爭取較低價格而與供應商協商；均未宣稱已成功降價。
