Explanation: Sentence C is the one that breaks the rule for hyphenating compound numbers (i.e., numbers made of more than one word) from twenty one through ninety-nine. That rule does not apply to smaller numbers (like "sixteen" in option d) because those are already fused into a single word.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
