An announcement over the loudspeaker startled Martin awake. He looked around the terminal and saw no one else waiting at this gate. There was no flight attendant at the podium. Martin nervously checked his watch but realized it was still on eastern time. In a panic, he jogged to the nearest departure screen. His heart sank when he read that flight 6105 had departed for Budapest 20 minutes ago.

Question

Which of these is an implicit detail from the text?

A.
Martin has come from the eastern time zone.
B.
Martin had been eating dinner.
C.
Martin has just had an exhausting experience.
D.
Martin is alone in the terminal.

Answer 1

A. Martin has come from the eastern time zone.

This detail is implicit because it can be inferred from the fact that Martin's watch is still set on eastern time, indicating that he is likely from that time zone. The other options do not have enough context or support from the text to be considered implicit details.
