Students read the description of sloths’ habitat, slow movement, greenish fur tint from algae, and how these traits support survival. The task asks students to classify five given statements as explicit or implicit based on whether the paragraph directly states the idea or requires inference from details provided. An answer key is included with the correct classifications.","Explicit vs Inference  \nName:  \n\n| \u003Cbr>Determine if the statement about the paragraph is explicit or implicit.\u003Cbr>Sloths are mammals that live in the tropical forests of Central and South America.
