  Let's be clear: of course there's a quiz today! Which of the
following do you think means about the same thing as
"explicit"?

  A. explicable
  B. express
  C. default
  D. meaningful

Answer: 
  No doubt about it, answer B is correct. "Explicit," "express,"
"definite," and "specific" all mean perfectly clear in
meaning. "Explicit" implies such plain and distinct choice of
words that there is no need for inference and no room for
difficulty in understanding, as in "explicit instructions."
"Express" implies that a statement is direct and positive as
well as explicit, as in "her express wishes." "Definite"
stresses precise, clear statement or arrangement that leaves
no doubt or indecision, as for example, "definite rules." And
"specific" applies to what is precisely and fully treated in
detail or particular, as for instance, "specific criticisms."
