C. implicitly states that Greta does like her gift

Answer :

The first sentence in the paragraph 'Greta hid her sigh as she opened the gift from her mother.' implicitly states that Greta does not like her gift.

Implicitly stated describes something that has been implied meaning it has been suggested or hinted at but not actually directly stated or expressed. Greta in the paragraph shows different signs of implicit behavior about the gift from mother. It is implied that she does not like the gift but it is not directly stated.

Greta forces a smile as she poses for a quick photo and also rolls her eyes as she turns away. This clearly states the implicit behavior of Greta.
