When studying l. f. korns’s "how to ride", the reader is told that the first step in selecting a proper saddle is to a) reread the section that discusses saddles in “how to ride”. b) pass final judgment after taking a test ride. c) get the recommendation of another bike owner. d) reread a previous chapter of book from which it was taken.

The correct answer is D) reread a previous chapter of the book from which it was taken.

Explanation:

In chapter "How to Ride", when discussing how to choose the right saddle, its quality and position, Korns laments many people's mistakes and literaly tells the reader: "Before you buy you had better turn back again to a previous chapter and study the saddle question very closely." Korn wants the reader to go back to chapter 2 "How to Select a Bicycle", section "Mudguards, Adjustability, Saddles" where he ellaborates on the different types of saddles.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover". 

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
