Question

1. what is the difference between explicit and implicit?

explicit means external, implicit means internal
explicit means suggested; implicit means stated outright
explicit means specific; implicit means general
explicit means stated outright, implicit means suggested

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the definitions of "explicit" and "implicit". "Explicit" refers to something that is clearly stated, direct, or outright. "Implicit" refers to something that is suggested or implied, not directly stated.

• The first option's description of "external" and "internal" does not match the standard definitions.
• The second option swaps the definitions (explicit is not "suggested" and implicit is not "stated outright").
• The third option's description of "specific" and "general" is incorrect as these terms relate to the level of detail or scope, not the nature of being stated or implied.
• The fourth option correctly defines explicit as "stated outright" and implicit as "suggested".

Answer:

D. explicit means stated outright, implicit means suggested (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the original options had labels like A, B, C, D with the last one being D, then the answer is D. explicit means stated outright, implicit means suggested)
