Read the passage from "The Stone." "Oh clever!" Doli retorted. "Oh, brilliant! Great clodhopperl Giant beanpole! Of course I am! What elsel Enough gabbling. Get a move
on My leg's going to sleep"
Why does Doli call Maibon a "beanpole"?

a. because humans are much taller than dwarves

b. because humans do not have magical powers

c. because humans are clumsy

d. because humans are foolish with magic

A. Because humans are much taller than dwarves.

Explanation:

1) A beanpole is a stick for supporting beans, according to the dictionary.

2) Beanpole sticks are generally 6-8 feet tall.

3) Context clues: If you do not know what "beanpole" means and don't have access to a dictionary, you can use context clues to help figure out, if not the actual meaning of the unfamiliar word, then at least a small understanding of what it could mean. In this case: "Giant beanpole!" We know that "giant" means big and tall, so we can surmise that "beanpole" is an addition to that descriptive.

4) As an extra assurance, in the passage, there is also "clodhopper" which is a way of saying Maibon is clumsy, but the question does not ask why Doli calls Maibon a clodhopper, so it's safe to assume that A is the correct answer.

answer: the first one

explanation:

explicitly is defined as “in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.” the rest are interpretive and not clearly proven leaving in fact possible “confusion or doubt” which explicitly, by definition cannot have.
