Which type of statement would an author wanting to directly explain the characters or setting of his or her story choose to write?
a. implicit
b. imputed
c. explicit
d. exposed < what i chose

i am not sure if this is correct but correct me if i am wrong.

The correct answer is the following: option C. If an author wants to directly explain the characters or setting of his/her story, the author would chose to write an explicit statement.

Statements that are explicit are the ones that are said directly and plainly. To be explicit is to fully and clearly explained something, leaving nothing behind that can be implied. If the author wants to directly explain the character or the setting of the story, then she/he is going to use explicit statements to do so.

Option C. Explicit.

Explanation:

The adjective explicit is defined as something stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.

Sometimes a writer might leave implicit statements in the text with the objective of keeping the reader invested in  the story, figuring out the story for themself. However, if the objective is to explain a character or setting directly to the reader, then it is best to make an explicit description knowing that it won't leave any details implied for the reader to interpret themself.
