Hi Kolombina

My personal opinion is that the word 'fit' could also be used in this sentence. The meanings are similar. But the word 'accommodate' has the additional sense of doing or changing something for the benefit of someone else.

I don't want to change my plans to yours again!

In my opinion this would be the correct answer for this question, as it is closer to how we speak English, and generally 'accommodate' would be used in a positive statement such as 'Yes I can accommodate that idea', not in a negative one such as above.

I think accommodate has nothing with negative forms, 'accommodate ' suggests a concession or a compromise and subordinates one thing to the requirement of another as it mentioned in the sentence,so 'accommodate' is the correct answer.
