The excerpt uses explicit details in the following way: it provides a <u>physical description</u> of Sarah Penn (small woman, short waist, gray hair, mild forehead, downward lines about her nose and mouth). All of it is explicit, since there is no room for interpretation, it is what it is. In other words, such details are concrete ones, since they are physical and nothing else.
As for implicit details, we can find them in a figure of speech (a <u>hypallage</u>, which uses an adjective or participle to describe a noun other than the person or thing it is in fact describing): we learn Sarah Penn's forehead was benevolent, that is, it showed her benevolence (an implicit detail, since it was Sarah, and not her forehead, that was benevolent). It is a trait which implicitly tells something about the character's personality. There is also the description of <u>meek downward lines</u> about her nose and mouth. Again, a hypallage which implicitly tells us something about the character: it is Sarah who is gentle and humble, and not the lines about her nose and mouth.
This is an example of irony:

Answer:
The observations by Waterbury residents reveals that they never felt Fortune was a true human.
Explanation:
'Fortune's Bone' is a historical writing by Pamela Espeland. The writing reveals about Fortune, an African-American slave owned by Dr. Porter. It is said that Dr. Porter reserved Fortune's body after his death to study anatomy of human being.
The paragraph 18 of the text reveals that the residents of Waterbury never felt that Fortune was truly a human being. After he was founded and given to the museum, his skeleton was named 'Larry' and was considered to be a war hero.
Thus there were many stories created regarding the Fortune's bones that residents of Waterbury hardly imagined that he was truly a human being.
