    The document discusses explicit and implicit claims in a text. [1] Explicit claims are directly stated facts that require no further explanation, while implicit claims are implied details that must be inferred from context clues. [2] Examples show that explicit claims are obvious from the direct wording, while implicit claims rely on reading between the lines to understand implied meanings. [3] Critical reading involves examining both explicit and implicit claims to fully understand the reliability and arguments of a text.

    To properly evaluate the ideas you have gathered while reading, you
    must be able
    to know the different types of information - explicit information and
    implicit information.

    Two Kinds of Information

    Explicit Information
    • It refers to information found or read in the text.
    • The meaning is not vague; no further explanation is needed.
    • Readers can see the piece of information stated in the given passage.
    • Explicit information is any idea that is clearly stated in detail, with no possibility of
    confusion.
    • You see, the text explained with explicit information.
    • Since you are looking for explicit information in what is read, the explicit
    information will be written in the text.
    • It does not need clues anymore. You just have to read the written information.
    Example: Think of a door sign that says, "No Entry." This door sign
    explicitly tells you that you must not enter. However, if the door sign says
    "Danger", the word danger will create a feeling in and tells you that you
    must not enter.

    Below are examples of explicit information:


    Example 1: "Bambie did not like cats and had never owned one."
    Explanation: The reader could obviously tell about Bambie's position on
    cats. It
    is directly presented in the text that Bambie did not like cats.

    Example 2: I am in a hurry. We'll talk about it later.


    Explanation: The speaker had obviously mentioned that he is in a hurry
    and he
    has no time to chat with someone at the moment. Hence, there is no room
    for doubt because
    everything is clearly and directly communicated.
    Implicit information

    • It refers to information not directly stated in the text.


    • Readers need to read between the lines to understand the
    details that the writer is
    trying to tell.
    • Implicit is implied or understood though not plainly or directly
    expressed.
    • The implicit text gives a clue.
    • The implicit idea is the primary point of a sentence or passage
    that is not clearly
    stated but hinted at by the text's details. • To figure out an
    implicit idea, one must look at the supporting details in the text.
    • Figuring out what people are talking about through their actions
    refer to implied
    ideas.
    Below are examples of implicit information:

    Example 1: "Bambie moved away from the cat; she'd never owned
    one."
    Explanation: This doesn't say the words that Bambie didn't like cats,
    but it is the
    feeling that you get when you read it. It is stated in the text that
    Bambie moved away from
    the cat. This gives the readers a clue that Bambie did not like cats.
    Example 2: Seated on a couch, Gang Tae looks at his watch and yawns
    several
    times.
    Explanation: Gang Tae's looking at his watch and yawning several times
    implies
    that he is bored.
    1. The fact that my father took the computer away was a sign that he was angry.
    Actually, he did not tell me that he was angry, but I can see that he was angry with
    my test result.

    2. My mother’s saying please eat the food made me realize that she was cooking
    the food I don’t like. She does not say you do not like these, but it shows up every
    time.

    3. We all understood that there would be an exam tomorrow because the teacher
    said please come prepared.

    4. My friend Jack didn’t say you could use my books, but putting them in front of
    me made me think about it.

    5. I immediately understood that he needed help by asking if he has learned these


    issues well. I’ll go to help him in the afternoon.
    Critical reading is necessary for judging the text's reliability through the
    study of implicit and explicit information. Critical reading is a form of
    language analysis that does not take the given value but involves a deeper
    examination of the claims put forth and the supporting points and possible
    counterarguments.
    Meaning Explicit Statement Implicit Statement
    Threat I'm going to hit you. If you don't let me cheat on the test,
    you'll be sorry.
    Love I love you. I hate everyone but you.

    Advice You should invest in stocks. People with money in the stock
    market tend to get good
    returns.

    Rejection I won't go out with you. I would rather die.
