Correct Answer: explicit


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explicit means clear, specific, and leaving no room for misunderstanding. In the context of the sentence, it suggests that the directions given to the driver were clear and helped him arrive on time.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Expletive: It refers to a profane or obscene word or expression, and it doesn't fit the context of providing directions to a driver.

Implicate: It means to show or suggest involvement in a crime or wrongdoing, and it doesn't fit the context of giving directions.

Implicit: It means implied or suggested without being directly stated.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "His directions to the driver were explicit and helped him to reach on time."
