Question
[108]. Passage: Plastic waste reaches the sea through rivers, drains and wind, then breaks into fragments too small to collect by hand. Turtles mistake bags for jellyfish, seabirds feed fragments to chicks, and microplastics enter food webs whose long-term effects are still being studied. Cleaning the surface alone cannot solve a problem that is continuously fed from land. Effective action therefore combines reduced single-use production, better waste collection in towns, river barriers, and product design that makes reuse easy. Without action at the source, every clean-up will be undone by the next monsoon. The word 'fragments' in the passage most nearly means:
