What characterizes an implicit question?

A question that is directly stated in the text
A question linking premises and conclusions in the author's thought
A question requiring a yes or no answer
A question that summarizes the text

The correct answer is: A question linking premises and conclusions in the author's thought

An implicit question is characterized by its nature of seeking to uncover deeper meaning or connections within a text rather than eliciting an explicit response. When a question links premises and conclusions in the author's thought, it invites readers to engage with the material on a more analytical level, encouraging them to infer the underlying implications or themes. This aligns with the definition of implicit questions, as they are not directly stated but rather suggested through the reasoning or arguments presented. The other choices describe different types of questions. A directly stated question would require a clear reference in the text, a yes or no question seeks a straightforward confirmation, and a summarizing question focuses on the main points or ideas, rather than exploring the connections between them. Implicit questions drive deeper comprehension by highlighting relationships within the author's argument, which is precisely what choice B describes.
