Silhouette of clothes is garment industry jargon that I would not expect a high school student to know unless he was involved in or familiar with that industry. I had never encountered that term before and had to look it up.

The article did not indicate the reader had to explain the sentence. The sentence was to be read. Don’t go making excuses for students being idiots.
