Distinguish explicit and implicit details

Using the Explicit Meaning knowledge point, we identify details directly stated in the text.

• "My client Justin sat in my office" explicitly states the narrator has an office (Option D).
• "I told him that he should lie low" explicitly states the narrator told Justin to lie low (Option A).
• "Justin came back with a black eye" explicitly states he returned with a black eye (Option B).

Identify the implied conclusion

Using the Implicit Meaning knowledge point, we find the detail that is not directly stated but strongly suggested by the clues.

• Justin said he was going to talk to Mr. Whitman.
• The next day, he returned with a black eye.
• This sequence of events strongly implies that Justin got into a physical altercation or fight with Mr. Whitman (Option C).
