Hi milene

I would say "fit" often means sth a person has is right for sth

e.g. My personality fits the job.

Whereas "suit" means sth is right for you:

e.g. The job suits me fine thks.

Note there are some common dual useages.

e.g. We just fit together really well.
We just suit each other really well.

means about the same

Hi milene

After confirming with all the moderators I can very confidently say that your answer was correct. The test answer was not correct!

In my opinion, fits isn't wrong in the sentence, Tom. But I do think that many people would use suits instead.

Thanks, Amy

What I really meant to say was that the test question (or the given choices) needed to be modified. You see it does not accept "suit" as a correct answer, which, as you said, more students would go for. :shock:
