Explanation:

The expliciti meaning of a text is something that the author explicitly tells you, for example the author states that if we don´t stop using so many oil based vehicles the CO2 levels will rise up and climate change will be inevitable, the meaning is explicit, but if he tells you that if the levels of CO2 liberated to the athmosphere rise up to 100000 megatons climate change will be inevitable, and that anually oild based vehicles liberate 2000 megatons of CO2 to the athmosphere, that´s not explicit meaning he wants you to reason it and come up with the idea yourself.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
