Question

Which statement about this Situation is implicit?

Answer 1

Answer:

A, The puppy is hungry.

Explanation:

Implicit:

adjective  

- implied though not plainly expressed.

You can tell by the situation that the implied piece of the story is that the puppy is hungry. First, the story outright tells you that the owner is cooking dinner, therefore it is not implied but told directly. Next, the story also tells the reader the the puppy has brown eyes - meaning again that it has been outright told and not implied. Lastly, the story says the the owner is in the kitchen, so D is not an implicit statement.

The story never says outright that the puppy is hungry, but you can tell that he is by the way his tail wags at the sight of food.
