Question

1. what is the difference between explicit and implicit?

explicit means external, implicit means internal
explicit means specific; implicit means general
explicit means stated outright; implicit means suggested
explicit means suggested; implicit means stated outright

Explanation:

To determine the difference between "explicit" and "implicit", we analyze the definitions:

• "Explicit" refers to something that is clearly stated, direct, or outright. For example, an explicit instruction is one that is fully detailed and unambiguous.
• "Implicit" refers to something that is suggested or implied, not directly stated but understood from context or hints.

Now we evaluate the options:

• The first option ("explicit means external, implicit means internal") is incorrect as the terms are not about external vs internal.
• The second option ("explicit means specific; implicit means general") is incorrect as the terms are not about specificity vs generality.
• The third option ("explicit means stated outright; implicit means suggested") matches the correct definitions of the terms.
• The fourth option ("explicit means suggested; implicit means stated outright") has the definitions reversed, so it is incorrect.

Answer:

C. explicit means stated outright; implicit means suggested
