thesaurus
accommodate v. adjust, contain, lodge, oblige
which word means the same as accommodate as it is used in the passage?
○ 1. adjust
○ 2. contain
○ 3. lodge
○ 4. oblige

Explanation:

First, we analyze the context of "accommodate" in the passage. The grandparents' B&B hosts guests, so "accommodate" here means to provide lodging for guests. Now we check the thesaurus entries:

• "adjust" means to change or modify, which doesn't fit the context of hosting guests.
• "contain" means to hold or include, not related to hosting.
• "lodge" means to provide accommodation or shelter, which matches the context of the B&B hosting guests.
• "oblige" means to do a favor or comply, not related to hosting.

Answer:

1. lodge
