Question

Read the excerpt from David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.

I am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies. My posture is consciously congruent to the shape of my
hard chair. This is a cold room in University Administration, wood-walled, Remington-hung, double-windowed against
the November heat, insulated from Administrative sounds by the reception area outside, at which Uncle Charles, Mr.
deLint and I were lately received.
I am in here.
Which is an explicit detail from this passage?

Hal feels uncomfortable in this room.

Hal does not want to participate in this interview.

Hal is sitting on a hard chair in a cold room.

Hal feels intimidated by the three deans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C. Hal is sitting on a hard chair in a cold room.

Step-by-step explanation:

An explicit detail refers to something that was directly expressed in the text, while an implicit detail would be indirect, and implied. All of the other choices are inferences based on his body language and whatnot. While choice C has direct evidence, given that he is sitting in a "hard chair" and he describes the room as "a cold room in University Administration."
