Hi Giappv
Have a look at the explanation that accompanies this test as well as some of the other explanations in the synonyms tests:
english-test.net/forum/ftopi … commodated
english-test.net/forum/ftopi … html#58081
Here is a dictionary definition for ‘adapt’:
bartleby.com/61/80/A0078000.html
In other words, when a person’s eyes adapt to a lack of light, the eyes gradually change. This would generally mean that the pupils dilate (become larger):

Hi Amy,
Thank you for your answer.
I looked at the links you send me, the dictionary is really useful.
I think “adapt” means the change happens naturally and “accommodate” means the change need an action from people?
Is that right?
