Which term matches the definition 'very clear'?

• A. Explicitly
• B. Clearly
• C. Obvious
• D. Apparent

Answer: (A)

Being clear in how something is stated is what this item tests: a word that conveys that the information is presented in a way that leaves no room for doubt. Explicitly means in a clear and detailed way; it emphasizes that what is said is laid out plainly, with no ambiguity. That direct, unambiguous presentation is exactly what “very clear” signals when describing how something is communicated, making explicitly the strongest fit here.

The other options touch on clarity in different ways. Clearly describes the manner of doing something, not the degree to which the statement itself is unambiguous. Obvious and apparent refer to how easily something is perceived or understood, rather than how clearly it is expressed or stated.
