Question 7 • CMS 2026-2027 English II CREDIT RECOVERY

Read the definitions. ex – = "out" im – = "in" plicit = "folded" Which sentence uses the underlined word correctly?

Answer
A
The custodian posted implicit instructions asking that the door remain locked.
B
The research assignment came with explicit instructions on source citation.
C
The speaker was explicit and difficult to understand.
D
Interpretations of the passage varied because its meaning was explicit .

Explanation

“Explicit” means clearly stated, or unfolded so it is easy to understand. Source-citation instructions that are directly given are explicit, so choice D uses the word correctly. “Implicit” means suggested or understood without being directly stated, which does not fit posted instructions that directly ask people to keep the door locked.
