What is an explicit question?

  1. A question that requires personal interpretation

  2. A question where the answer is indirectly implied

  3. A question where the answer is found in the text

  4. A question based on opinion and feelings

The correct answer is: A question where the answer is found in the text

An explicit question is one where the answer is clearly stated in the text. This type of question does not require any inference or interpretation, as the information needed to answer it can be directly referenced. The clarity and directness of explicit questions allow readers to locate the answers by identifying specific facts, data, or statements within the material. This is essential for assessing a reader's comprehension of the text, as it focuses on their ability to extract information directly provided by the author. The other options involve elements of personal interpretation, implied answers, or subjective opinions, which do not align with the characteristics of an explicit question.
