Answer 1

Answer: The correct option is B:

Details that the narrator states directly in the text.

The author uses the third person to narrate the story, and gives specific details explicitly, explaining all the thoughts, feelings and actions that take place in the story directly. Explicit means that the reader does not have to infer or imagine the things that happen in the story because all actions are described in detail and they are certain, there are not mysteries about what must have happened because the narrator knows all the events and explains it fully in the story.
