You consolidate power, not accountability. Collocation flaw. b) regulate, instill – Instill accountability sounds motivational or educational — out of place in a legal context. Tone mismatch. c) curtail, enforce – Curtail misinformation is awkward; we curtail spending or freedoms, not ideas or content. Inaccurate usage. d) eradicate, amplify – Amplify accountability makes no sense. Also, eradicate misinformation is overly ambitious — not what legislation realistically does. Overstatement.
