Hello!
One word don't go with the verb in bold:The bill /meal /bank account came to 35$.
At the answer key it is said that 'the bank account' is the word that don't go with the verb;Why? I really don't see why. Could you give me a reason?
Thank you!

The meal came to = the total cost of items ordered as part of the meal is...
The bill came to = the total cost of items ordered is...

Bank accounts don't work on the principle of totalling the cost of purchased items to find a final amount which needs to be paid.
