"I believed every word he said." Is this sentence a verb phrase

No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.

Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).

read the passage and then answer the question: cecil came home to find the couch cushions gnawed on, a vase lying in pieces on t
dimaraw [331]

The correct answer is Cecil shook his head.

An explicit detail is one in which a writer employs descriptive language to make it crystal apparent to the readers exactly what is happening in a scenario.

As a result, we can observe that the author does not utilise any implicit details that could be misinterpreted and instead uses explicit detail to demonstrate that Cecil shook his head.

Nothing, in fact, suggests that Cecil is unaware of Leo. He genuinely says, "Not again," which indicates that it has already happened. He is thus certain to be familiar with Leo.

Since this is stated explicitly in the text, it is not implied.
