Shiera started playing the piano at the age of 7, and now she is a professional pianist. c. Jordan, an executive chef in a five-star restaurant, uses a secret recipe book owned by the restaurant to prepare exotic dishes. d. Tomm, a doctor, diagnoses a rare illness and prescribes a course of action to cure it.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Jordan, an executive chef in a five-star restaurant, uses a secret recipe book owned by the restaurant to prepare exotic dishes.

Explanation:

Explicit knowledge differs from other types of knowledge because this can be easily accessed and in most cases, it has been recorded, which means it can be found in documents, videos, etc. Besides this, explicit knowledge is often general and can be understood by many because different from implicit knowledge this is not created based on a person's experiences.

The secret recipe book Jordan uses is an example of explicit knowledge because the knowledge that is necessary to prepare exotic dishes has been recorded into a document, and due to this, chefs just need to read this to understand it. Also, this is a general knowledge that can be understood and used not only by Jordan but by different chefs.
