10. Explicit Information
■ Explicit information is any idea that is stated.
■ With explicit information, you see the text
explained!
■ Since you are looking for explicit information in
what is read, the explicit information will be
written in the text.
■ There is no need to look for clues. Just read. If the
information is written, it is explicit.
Just like the answer in guide question 1 and 2.

11. Implicit Information
■ 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.
Just like the answer for guide questions 3 to
5.

12. What’s the difference between
Explicit and Implicit?

that is stated. While, implicit is,

not plainly or directly
expressed.”
