Question 4 • M/J Language Arts 3 Advanced

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

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

Explanation

An implicit detail is suggested rather than stated directly. In choice D, “that wardrobe” and the reference to lions and witches hint at the wardrobe in *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe*, suggesting the speaker’s imagination and literary familiarity without explaining this outright. The other excerpts mainly state straightforward facts about the radio, bookstore, or library.
