Answer 11

""To explicate" something is, in the most general sense of the term, to spell out its implications. Thus the noun "explication," in the corresponding sense, is, in the first instance, the process of spelling out the implications of something. And derived from this, in turn, is the sense of "explication" that refers to the product of this process: some account of what the implications of something are. Explication, in other words, is a kind of explanation"

Answer 12

@mikewwe13 do you know what a summary is?

Have you ever read a book summary or had to write one?

Answer 13

Yes, i have read it.

Answer 14

Are summaries detailed? Do they elaborate on every single line of the book? Or would they be concise, and short and sweet and give you the main idea in as few words as possible?

Answer 15

Yes but in the reader's own words of perspective

Answer 16

so do you think it's our answer or is it something we should eliminate?

Answer 17

eliminate

Answer 18

Now we really have to choose between A and B. Did you read that little blurb I posted earlier?

Answer 19

Not really.

Answer 20

The answer is B

Answer 21

Is that what you're settling on? Or like you've submitted it and you got feedback already?

Answer 22

no it's what i'm settling for

Answer 23

elucidate meant analysis or explaining

Answer 24

So like if you read that little blurb of text I sent, I think you might find your answer @mikewwe13

Elucidate means more to explain than to analyze.
Analysis involves more of interpreting and trying to understand how concepts all work together.

Answer 25

oh i see what you're talking about, you're right
