Read the short passage below. Determine whether the thesis is explicit or implicit, then choose the best explanation of why this is true. High, high above the North Pole, on the first day of 1969, two professors of English Literature approached each other at a combined velocity of 1200 miles per hour. —David Lodge, Changing Places (1975)
a. This thesis is implicit because we can infer that the professors will meet based on the context and details of the description.
b. This thesis is implicit because we can infer that the author is against academics who teach literature, rather than writing it. The drama of the situation confirms this.
c. This thesis is explicit because we get a what and a who for our subject, letting us know to expect people to meet.

Read this excerpt from "the light of gandhi's lamp" by hilary kromberg inglis, in which she describes driving to the police station where her sister is being detained. to avoid looking at the blackened windows at the top of the building and thinking about the history of who had died or been tortured there, i always looked instead at the little chinese restaurant on the opposite side of the road. how does this passage affect the text? it conveys, with great subtlety, the conflict she felt over having a sister who would break the law and end up in the custody of the police. it conveys, without any implied moral judgment, that those who fought against apartheid considered themselves to be soldiers in a just war. it conveys, with an extended metaphor, the idea that being detained by the police in this society was regarded as a badge of honor. it conveys, with direct language, the view held by many anti-apartheid activists that the police often acted in brutal and unlawful ways.
