There was always a radio which brought usSongs from wlac in nashville
B
There was a bookstore uptown on gay streetWhich I visited
C
And up the hill on vine street(The main black corridor) sat our carnegie library
D
And Mrs. Long opened that wardrobeBut no lions or witches scared me

Explanation

An implicit detail is suggested rather than stated directly. In choice D, the reference to a wardrobe, lions, and witches hints at The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, suggesting that Mrs. Long introduced the speaker to the book or its imaginative world without saying so outright. The other excerpts mainly state direct details about places or things.
