Detailed Solution for Test : English - 5 - Question 1

adapt to:
“Adapt to” generally means that something has changed to fit its own environment.

“Adapt for” is an idiom that suggests to change or adjust something for a new or different purpose
For example: “The vehicle was adapted for off-road travel by the engineering students at University X.”
