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”?

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.

nadya68 [22]
Even though synonyms generally share the same meaning, they might not apply in the same context. So, if you want to use one specific word you should do that instead of trying to find a synonym that doesn't quite fit into the context you've established. An example is if you want to use the sentence "I was mad", meaning "I was angry", you could look for a synonym. One synonym is "absurd". However, this is a different type of mad, meaning crazy instead of meaning angry. "I was absurd" has an entirely different meaning than originally intended. This is why you should always double check the contextual meaning of the synonym you want to use.
