Questions are answered, not explained, although the answer to a question may involve an explanation.

I’d drop the word very. And, for the word explanation I’d substitute the word answer. Adding the word very to modify the word lucid seems to create a redundancy since something is either lucid or it is not.

His explanation was succinct. I would not use lucid in this context. Just to be clear without being terse, lucid is a term that usually involves alcohol.
