Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Cartoons to make fun of a political candidate

Explanation:

In writing, a text with implicit ideas refers to a text that contains an implied or indirect message besides a direct message, which occurs in texts that have purposes or ideas that are not explicitly stated but are suggested in the content. In general terms, texts that are informative, especially those that are technical texts such as instructions, recipes or directions only include a direct message while texts that aim at persuading such as advertising or those that aim at criticizing some aspect such as satire or ironic texts contain an implied message. Considering this, the idea or text that is most likely to contain implicit ideas is "Cartoons to make fun of a political candidate" because besides making fun of a political candidate this text has an implicit purpose and content to criticize and show the audience the negative aspects of the candidate which means the text would have implicit ideas.
