Which excerpt from “A Poem for My Librarian, Mrs. Long” gives the best example of an implicit detail?

There was always a radio which brought us
Songs from wlac in nashville
There was a bookstore uptown on gay street
Which I visited
And up the hill on vine street
(The main black corridor) sat our carnegie library
And Mrs. Long opened that wardrobe
But no lions or witches scared me

"And Mrs. Long opened that wardrobe, But no lions or witches scared me" sets the best example of an implicit detail as the wardrobe opening and nothing out of that wardrobe forms the basis of scariness.

the aforesaid lines sets to be an implicit detail as the writer has coincided the fact with the book named, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, written by C. S. Lewis.

here the said excerpt creates the allusion without being need to be clarified further and hence forms the implicit detail.

The excerpt from “A Poem for My Librarian, Mrs. Long” that gives the best example of an implicit detail is

D. And Mrs. Long opened that wardrobe But no lions or witches scared me

An implicit detail is one where the meaning of what the author or writer is trying to pass across is not mentioned specifically. This is the opposite of explicit detail where the message is very clear and direct

With this definition in mind, we can now see that the best answer is option D. This s because it is suggested that there could have been lions or witches in the wardrobe when it was opened, but none was found.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D
