Which type of statement should an author use if he or she wants the audience to discover details about the setting on their own rather than seeing a direct description?

imputed

exposed

implicit

explicit

The correct answer is: Implicit.

An implicit statement contains information conveyed through subtle communication. This method of idea transmission is used in literature to infuse the reader with surprise as the plot unfolds in front of them, just not in plain sight.

Giving details about the setting to the reader with an outright explanation (Explicitly) might not leave the latter satisfied, as they wouldn't be able to credit themselves with the effort of uncovering them.

you didn't provide the passage.

explanation:

seeing as this is your first question on i can see why you may have not known that you need to provide the passage.

without the passage, or even the name of the passage, we can not read the passage, therefore we can not determine when or how the pacing effects the tone.

however, you can either repost this question (providing the passage this time)

or you can comment below what the passage is, and i'll you to the best of my ability!
