看答案

subscribe

plans to 後接原形動詞,因此選 subscribe。subscription 是訂閱或訂閱費,subscriber 是訂閱者,兩者都是名詞;subscribed 是過去式或過去分詞,均不適用於此處。

同義改寫

The office manager added the journal's annual subscription fee to the department budget. → The office manager included the yearly cost of subscribing to the journal in the department budget.
annual subscription fee 與 yearly cost of subscribing 都指每年的訂閱費用;兩句都表示將這筆費用列入部門預算。
The company's volunteer team raised money for the library through public subscription. → The company's volunteer team raised money for the library through donations from the public.
此處 public subscription 是較正式的募款用語,指大眾捐款,因此可改寫為 donations from the public。
