Traduzione e definizione
to plan (sthg, to do sthg, on doing sthg): organizzare, pianificare (qlcs), avere intenzione di (fare qlcs)
I am planning a dinner party at my house. I've invited eight people, but still haven't decided what food to cook. Sto organizzando una cena a casa mia. Ho invitato otto persone, ma non ho ancora deciso cosa cucinare.
I plan to move to the U.S. next year. I've received a job offer in New York and I've started looking at apartments online. Ho intenzione di trasferirmi negli Stati Uniti il prossimo anno. Ho ricevuto un'offerta di lavoro a New York e ho iniziato a cercare appartamenti online.
a plan: un piano, un programma, un contratto
What are your plans this weekend? I'm planning to go to the cinema, and you could come with me if you don't have any other plans. Quali sono i tuoi piani per questo weekend? Ho intenzione di andare al cinema, e potresti venire con me se non hai altri programmi.

This is not correct. Stairs are the things we climb in order to reach a different floor of a building (especially if the lift is broken!). In this context, it is possible "to come up stairs". However "to come up with stairs" would not usually be used (except when describing the genius who came up with the idea of linking different floors in houses with stairs!).
This is a correct choice. "To come up with (something)" is to find or produce (something). Example: If you want to stay in this apartment, you need to come up with the money to pay your half of the rent.
This is a correct choice. "To come up with a solution" is a common phrase that means to succeed in finding or supplying an idea that solves a problem. For example: "the government has come up with a solution to the housing crisis".
This is correct. "To come up with" is a fixed expression that means to produce, supply or find. A "plan" is an idea or method of how to do something. These two terms are commonly combined, for example: "we came up with a plan to escape from prison".

Bruno: Brian, what do you plan with that Elkie Johns CD?
Brian: I'm going to it of course!
Bruno: Oh Brian. I would recommend it in the bin.
Brian: I'm going to it of course!
Bruno: Oh Brian. I would recommend it in the bin.
Bruno: Brian, what do you plan to do 1 with that Elkie Johns CD?
Brian: I'm going to listen 2 to it of course!
Bruno: Oh Brian. I would recommend throwing 3 it in the bin.
Brian: I'm going to listen 2 to it of course!
Bruno: Oh Brian. I would recommend throwing 3 it in the bin.
1 to do: 'Plan to do' is the correct construction. We need to use the full infinitive form, with 'to', after 'to plan'. Here's another example: I plan to kill my husband so I can inherit his record collection.
1 to doing: This is incorrect, and simply grammatically incorrect!
1 do: This is incorrect, and simply grammatically incorrect!
2 to listen: This is the correct choice here. We say 'I'm going to listen...'. The 'going to...' construction is a useful way of talking about future events. Another example: 'We're going to fire all employees tomorrow'.
2 listening: Sorry, but this is grammatically incorrect here: we need the infinitive form, 'to listen'.
2 listen: Sorry, but this is grammatically incorrect here: we need the full infinitive form, 'to listen'.
3 throwing: 'Throwing' is the right answer here. We 'recommend doing something', with a verb in the '-ing' form. For example: 'We recommend avoiding this road when it's snowing'.
3 to throw: 'Recommend' needs to be followed by a verb in the '-ing' form, not an infinitive.
3 throw: 'Recommend' needs to be followed by a verb in the '-ing' form, not an infinitive.

This is an incorrect choice. To "plan ahead (for a party)" means to organise and prepare for it in advance. Example: London is planning ahead for the Olympic Games. This is not the meaning of the expression "to look forward to (a party)".
This is the correct choice. To "look forward to something" is to be excited and impatient about it or to anticipate it with pleasure. When Icarus tells Donna that he looks forward to their sessions, he is expressing that he enjoys their sessions and anticipates them with pleasure.
This is an incorrect choice. To "think about something a lot" does not have a similar meaning to "looking forward to something."
This is an incorrect choice. To "expect something to happen" is to know or presume it is going to happen. Example: The sky is full of grey clouds, I expect it is going to rain. This is not the meaning of the expression "to look forward to (a party)".

1 full: The term "busy" is used here to describe the "full" or "active" nature of Susie's colleagues' schedules or agendas. She is saying that they all have lots of things to do every day. To be "busy" is to be "occupied". Example: I've had a very busy morning: I walked the dog, cleaned the house, and polished the silverware.
1 boring: This is incorrect. The term "boring" means "dull" or "uninteresting" and is unrelated in meaning to "busy".
1 big: This is incorrect. The term "big" means "large" and is unrelated in meaning to "busy".
1 exciting: This is incorrect. The term "exciting" means "very interesting" or "entertaining" and is unrelated in meaning to "busy".
2 timetables: The term "schedule" describes a "timetable" or a list of things to be done. Susie is referring to the fact that her colleagues have many tasks to perform every day: they have lots to do. Example: I'll try to find space in my schedule to go to visit my sick mother this month. Note: we could also use the term "agenda" in this context (which also describes a list of things to be discussed in a meeting).
2 plannings: "Planning" is a term used to describe a method decided in advance, or the act of making a plan. It does not share a similar meaning with "schedule", and moreover, it is never used in the plural.
2 journals: A "journal" can be one of two things: a personal diary used for writing thoughts and feelings, or a scholarly periodical. Neither shares a similar meaning with "schedule".
3 feedback: The term "input" describes someone's contribution to a discussion, debate, or panel, or their "feedback". Note that in a different context, "input" can also describe the energy or data given to a machine. Examples: "Your input has been very interesting", "You should input accurate data to the computer if you want an accurate output".
3 presence: Nice try, but "presence" is different in meaning from "input". "Presence" refers to the act of attending something, such as a meeting.
3 time: Susie is grateful that her colleagues are giving some of their time to her project, but this term does not share a similar meaning with input.
