What is implied, rather than explicitly stated, in this excerpt?

o a) the ship encountered stormy seas and cold winds.

ob) cabeza de vaca was troubled by the suffering of his men.

oc) lack of food and bad weather almost decimated de vaca's crew.

only de vaca and the sailing master were capable of manning the

od) ship.

The answer is D. Only de Vaca and the sailing master were capable of manning the ship.

Explanation:

When something is "implied" you are not offering much information as for; why is that true? On the other hand, when you are being explicit or something  has explicitly told, that means exactly the opposite of implicit; you have enough information and there's no room for uncertainty. In this context, the three first options give you descriptions and causes and effects; adjectives: cold, stormy, bad. Why did Vaca's crew almost decimated? For the lack of food and bad weather. Thus, option D is the most suitable as we do not know why only Vaca and the sailing master were capable of manning the ship.

postards have pictures on them, these pictures are things that may never be seen again. the pictures are a part of our history that shows things. because of this many collectors would pay a lot of money for them.

i read on google they "offer a glimpse into the past"

hope this : )

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
