responsible and answerable for actions

Responsible for what you do and having to explain or accept the result, especially to another person or group.

استعمال کا انداز: be accountable for [something] / be accountable to [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "accountable" with "capable" or "able" because of the similar endings. "Accountable" always includes the idea of responsibility and having to explain actions. Also, learners may say "accountable of" instead of the correct prepositions "accountable for" (thing/action) or "accountable to" (person/group).

able to be explained or justified

Possible to explain or understand using reasons or facts.

استعمال کا انداز: be accountable to [reason/experience]
عام غلطی:
This sense is rare in modern English. Learners are better off using "explicable" or "can be explained". Do not use "accountable" with this meaning in everyday speech, as it may sound old-fashioned or confusing.
ہم معنی الفاظ
explicable (More common in modern use for something that can be explained; similar meaning but more neutral and slightly technical.)
متضاد الفاظ
inexplicable (Describes something that cannot be explained or understood, the opposite of this sense of "accountable".)
