Definition: Thoroughly explained.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary there, and it tells us "thoroughly explained," which is a good start. But what does “specified” really mean? It's more than just saying something clearly. Think of it like this: When you specify something, you give all the details – every little bit! You’re not just hinting or suggesting; you’re being precise and exact. Let's say I tell you to "bring a blue pen." That's explained, but is it specified ? Not really! If I said, “Bring a blue, Bic ballpoint pen, with a silver clip ,” now that’s specified ! You know exactly what I want. It means to state something clearly and completely, leaving no room for guessing. It's about being detailed and specific – like giving instructions so everyone knows exactly what to do. So, "specified" is a word that asks you to be thorough, to offer all the facts, and leave no question unanswered. Do you have any questions? Let’s see if we can come up with some examples together!
