When a text has a meaning that is stated directly, that is an example of

Explicit

"When something is stated explicitly, this means the exact meaning of something is clearly stated. The meaning should be clear and obvious to anyone reading the statement. Stating things explicitly is often important in professional settings, such as in the workplace, a hospital, or in the classroom.

For example, if at the end of a meeting, your boss says ''someone take care of this,'' she's not being very explicit. Depending on the nature of the meeting, you may not be sure exactly what she means. However, if your boss states her wishes explicitly, saying ''make sure your team finishes the report and has it to me by close of business'' then you know exactly what she wants. Stating things explicitly can help clear up confusion."
