- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Graduate Level) One Word Substitution
What is the one-word substitution for a place where children without parents are cared for and brought up?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Orphanage
Meaning: orphanage = a home where children without parents are looked after and brought up *(अनाथालय)*.
*orphan* (a child whose parents are dead) + *-age* (place).
Why the others are wrong.
#B Hospital = a place where the sick or injured are treated *(अस्पताल)*.
#B School = a place where children are taught *(विद्यालय)* — it educates, it does not bring up.
#B Asylum = protection given to a refugee, or (old use) an institution for the mentally ill *(शरण; पागलखाना)*.
Answer: Orphanage
*Orphan + -age = the place for orphans.*
