Question

Read the following passage from Bulfinch's Mythology:

PLEASEEEEE HELP!!

Epaphus was the son of Jupiter and Io. ( underlined )

Phaeton, child of the
Sun, was one day boasting to him of his high descent and of his
father Phoebus. Epaphus could not bear it. "Foolish fellow,"
said he, "you believe your mother in all things, and you are
puffed up by your pride in a false father."


The underlined text is an example of which of the following?

explicit meaning
inferred meaning
schema
context clues

Answer 1

I believe that the underlined portion represents the explicit meaning.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have no doubt who Epaphus was and to whom he belonged.

"Epaphus was the son of" is very explicit.
