Read the passages from the article "Kids Save the Day—'Heroes' Deemed by Coast Guard!" Then answer the question about implicit and explicit ideas. "Wow. What is that?" Simon Brimm remembers calling out to his long-time friend, Hillary Green. He and Hillary had been friends since preschool, but they lived in different parts of the state now. They hadn't seen each other all summer. Simon, Hillary, and their families were taking a vacation together before middle school started next week. Zavier Gonzales and his cousins were also vacationing at the seaside that weekend. The wind had picked up and the seas were quite rough as swimmers, water boarders, and surfers struggled to stay afloat. Separated from his family, and adrift on a small raft, it was Xavier that Simon saw bobbing along on the horizon. Separated from his family, and adrift on a small raft, it was Xavier that Simon saw bobbing along on the horizon. What implicit idea is suggested by the author's use of "adrift"? Xavier was not on a water board, so he could not stay afloat. Xavier did not have control of the raft. The rest of Xavier's family were also bobbing on the waves. The calm seas made drifting pleasurable.

at nineteen years old, nicole c. kear's biggest concern is choosing a major--until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. she is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before lights out. instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. she joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret.

when kear becomes a mother, just a few years shy of her vision's expiration date, she amends her carpe diem strategy, giving up recklessness in order to relish every moment with her kids. her secret, though, is harder to surrender - and as her vision deteriorates, harder to keep hidden. as her world grows blurred, one thing becomes clear: no matter how hard she fights, she won't win the battle against blindness. but if she comes clean with her secret, and comes to terms with the loss, she can still win her happy ending
