Question

Which statement best defines explicit meaning? a meaning that is directly communicated and requires little interpretation a meaning that is indirectly communicated and requires the reader to "read between the lines" a meaning that can be arrived at through reading the context clues in a passage of text a meaning that the author explains through the narrator

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement that best defines explicit meaning is a meaning that is directly communicated and requires little interpretation.

Explanation:

When something is stated explicitly, it is expressed clearly and in a concrete way. This meaning should be perfectly clear and avoid any confusion or doubt in the reader.

The opposite of explicit meaning is implicit meaning, that implies the actual meaning rather than stating it directly.

Answer 2

A meaning that is directly communicated and requires little interpretation.

If you think of the word "explicit," think back to a time when you saw or heard of an album or a movie that was titled "explicit." This helped me remember its meaning.
