Clarifying means explaining something in a way that removes confusion. It helps someone better understand a concept or situation. For example:

Thanks for clarifying how the API works. - The speaker is grateful because the explanation made the API easier to understand.

Abstraction refers to simplifying something by showing only the essential features and hiding the complex internal workings. For example:
