I believe the answer is:

recital

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a detailed quotation' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'make it clear' is the wordplay.
'make' is an anagram indicator.
'it'+'clear'='itclear'
'itclear' with letters rearranged gives 'RECITAL'.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Verbal account" , "Enumeration of facts" , "Narration" , "Telling" , "(Usually solo) concert" .)
