Hi Julied,

In this sentence suits suggests it's right for me. If someone offers a plan which is what you wanted in the first place then it suits you. We can also use suit in the following ways:

That dress suits you -it's the right colour, style and design for you.

This university course would suit you - it's the sort of course that's just right for your qualifications.

Hello,

can you help me? I'm a bit confused.
Why is "This music really fits my mood" the right answer of sixth sentence and here "This plan suits me quite well." ?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

'Fit' is the wrong answer here to the test question because it is usually used to mean that it is the right size as in: These shoes don't fit me, they're too tight.
