Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Account"

A: "They're all accounted for" sort of means they all have proof of current present existence. Usually, something is being counted.

For example, if I asked you "are all the students here?" and you respond with "they're all accounted for", you mean that they have all been counted and proven to be there.

a similar phrase for "they're all accounted for" would be "they're all here/they're all there"

A: It could differ depending on the situation or the context but it's about a group of something and it's explaining how everything/everyone is there and counted for.

A: She told them what happened.

A: a country’s balance of payments that covers claims on or liabilities to non-residents

A: To give an explanation/reasons for this case. To looks into this case more deeply.
説明とか理由を挙げる。（この場合に）もっと詳しく見てみよう。

A: You should always take the weather into account before you head out - you might need a raincoat!

A: On account of = because of

“ on account of” sounds more formal, a bit more stiff or business like.

“On account of” introduces the reason or explanation for something.

Sometimes “ on account of” changes the sentence structure and the words that follow
because there is the word “ of” and not everything can follow the word “ of”

I rarely use this phrase, but it is commonly used.
I find it too stiff sounding for my taste.

There is the word “ account” in this phrase, which means to give a detailed statement of what has been achieved or done. It is this idea (and word )that creates the stiffness or formality.
*********
Examples:

We bought this house partly ON ACCOUNT OF the shed in the backyard which we will convert to a greenhouse.

The President of the company declined to deliver the speech himself, ON ACCOUNT OF a sore throat.

She can’t work much ON ACCOUNT OF the children.
****

If you listen with your ear to the SOUND of the words, you can hear this phrase ON ACCOUNT OF,
is staccato like, more detached and separate.

When we use the word BECAUSE, the sound is rounder and flows, creates a more fluid sentence SOUND WISE.

Hope that makes sens.
