Question

Which excerpt from "A Poem for My Librarian, Mrs. Long” includes the the best example of explicit detail?

And up the hill on vine street
(The main black corridor) sat our carnegie library
The stereoscope always ready to show you faraway
Places to dream about
But there was a world
Somewhere
Out there
And Mrs. Long opened that wardrobe
But no lions or witches scared me
I went through

Answer 1

The excerpt that includes the best example of explicit detail is:

**"And up the hill on vine street (The main black corridor) sat our carnegie library."**

This line provides specific details about the location (Vine Street) and the Carnegie library, describing it in a way that paints a clear picture of the setting.
