ion nearby) to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words. Read the passage below and answer the question.
They persuaded me at the clinic to send her away to a convalescent home in the country where “she can have the kind of food and care you can’t manage for her, and you’ll be free to concentrate on the new baby.” They still send children to that place.

Using the surrounding context clues, what is the meaning of the words “convalescent home”?

rural orphanage
halfway house for wayward youth
temporary care for those recovering from illness
country resort for poor people

Answer:

Rural orphanage

Explanation:

While convalescent homes are sometimes associated with retirement homes for the elderly, in this passage the place is described as a place in the country to send children that are too costly to support at home.

Several of the clues that the passage gives us are the mention of the new baby, the care and managing factor that is characteristic of parental responsibility, and the closing statement that it is still a place where children are sent.

postnew [5]

Personification is a type of metaphorical language in which non-living objects are given human characteristics to pique the reader’s attention and imagination.

The sentence gives the paper, the wind, and the flag human characteristics. The flag is given the ability to wave by the author in order to represent the scene and circumstances. The wind can now purposefully whistl, and the paper appears to be flying of its own own.Personification is a figure of speech in which inanimate objects, thoughts, or animals are given human traits. The phrase that demonstrates personification is.

The great city is almost sound asleep. Not a city, but only humans or animals can be said to be asleep.It indicates that New York is a city where activity is carried out around-the-clock.Personification is the process of giving a nonliving thing the ability to do actions that only living things can.Example: The wind roared the wind cannot howl because it is not alive.
