Hi

I chose the word of 'match' for this sentence.
Why isn't the 'match' a right answer? What does " accommodate" mean in this sentence?

Thank you :]

Hi,

'Match' suggests 'suit' as with colours and with people it has the idea of 'competing' testing your ability with another's ability. Clearly that's not the sense here. 'Accommodate yourself' has the sense of adapting yourself by getting used to something new and thereby fitting in.
