Answer 1

The answer to the question is c

Answer 2

C. Explicit details about how the library items are arranged.

Step-by-step explanation:

As known, 'Explicit' means that whatever was said, it's stated clearly.

Implicit means that a subject was implied, but you still need to use context clues to find the answer.

In this case, it clearly says, "To the left side a card catalog."

'On the right, newspapers are draped over a quilt rack' and "Magazines face out from the wall"

All of these quotes are explicitly(clearly) saying where each of the library items go. Including, Card catalogs, newspapers, and Magazines.

I hope this helps! :)
