CLAIMS
 EXPLICIT
.
.

The definition of explicit is, “to fully and clearly express

something, leaving nothing implied.” Something is
explicit when it is cleared stated and spelled out and
there is no room for confusion, as in the writing of a
contract or statute.

.
An example of explicit is someone is giving a very straight forward
directions to a location.

EXAMPLE:
 Maria was so mad at her mom for grounding her.

 Tom felt sad. he could not go on the picnic because it was

raining.
 IMPLICIT

The definition of implicit is, “implied or understood though

not plainly or directly expressed.” Something is, therefore,
.
implicit when it is not directly stated but is either suggested
in the wording or necessary to effectuate the purpose.
Example:
 Maria glared at her mother, quickly spun on her heels, and
slammed the door so hard the neighbor probably heard.

 Tom looked at the grey, tearful sky; his face crumbled .He put
the salmon sandwiches back beside the chilled bottle of wine
in the fridge, then sighed at the empty wicker basket.
