Question

Read the excerpt from "Our Hero.”

The town is setting up for the parade
to welcome brave Bill Wilson home again.
Along the town's main street, flags and balloons,
like cheerful sparring partners, bob and weave,
and Bill's big brother Joe directs a crowd
of grade school boys and girls. They sweep the street
and chatter with excitement about Bill.

These lines provide the reader with

implicit information that describes what a hero Bill Wilson is.
explicit information that describes who Bill Wilson’s brother is.
explicit information that describes where Bill Wilson has been.
implicit information that describes how the town feels about Bill Wilson.

Answer 1

implicit information that describes how the town feels about Bill Wilson.

Explanation: the parade, flags and balloons, and townspeople “chatter with excitement” imply the town admires and is happy to welcome him home (an inference).
