Which word describes something implied or understood without being stated aloud?

• A. Tirade
• B. Taciturn
• C. Tacit
• D. Veracity

Answer: (C)

Something understood without being stated aloud is captured by tacit. Tacit describes something implied or understood without explicit expression. For example, there can be tacit approval—the sense that everyone agrees or is allowed to proceed without a spoken confirmation. In contrast, a tirade is a long, angry speech; taciturn describes someone who is habitually quiet or reserved, not the idea of something implied; veracity means truthfulness. So tacit is the best fit because it specifically conveys that unstated understanding or implication.
