Which of the following is an example of a query with an explicit location?

• A. [Taco bell los angeles], English (US)
• B. Taco bell los angeles, English (US)
• C. [Taco bell], English (US)
• D. [Taco bell los angeles], English (UK)

Answer: (A)

Explicit location means the user states the place directly as part of the search terms, so the query clearly targets a specific place rather than letting the system guess.

The best example shows the business name together with the city inside the same bracketed phrase, followed by a locale that matches the US context: [Taco bell los angeles], English (US). This makes the location explicit and unambiguous for the search system.

The other options either omit the location in the query (or rely on context), present the location without bracketed emphasis, or mix in a locale (English UK) that doesn’t align with the US city listed, making them less clear as explicit location queries.
