Question

Greta hid her sigh as she opened the gift from her mother. She lifted the new diary from the box, forcing a smile as she posed for a quick photo. She rolled her eyes as she turned away and set the book behind her, knowing it would go unused like the one from last year.

The first sentence in the paragraph


explicitly states that Greta doesn't like her gift

explicitly states that Greta does not like her gift

implicitly states that Greta does like her gift

implicitly states that Greta does not like her gift

Answer 1

Implicitly states that Greta does not like her gift. This is because she didn't actually say it but you can infer that she does not like it.

Answer 2

implicitly states that Greta does not like her gift

Step-by-step explanation:

As the first sentece of the excerpt reads: She hid her sight, it doesn´t explicititly said that she didn´t like it, or that she believed it was a bad gift, she wanted to hid her sight so no one would see her expression at the sight of that present, since she knew that she didn´t like those presents and that the last years she had something very similar and didn´t use it at all, so the statement implicitly states taht she doesn´t like her gift.
