Test: Marine Plastic Pollution
20 questions
Question 1: The materials suggest that the ocean still symbolizes the eternal, unyielding power of nature, unaffected by human pollution.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The text states that 'For thousands of years, the ocean was a symbol of the eternal power of nature. When we looked at it, we felt small and our problems seemed trivial. But now it looks as if even something as huge as the ocean cannot cope with the amount of plastic waste that our civilisation produces.' This indicates that its previous symbolism of unyielding power is now challenged by plastic pollution.
Question 2: The marine biologist's team found no plastic in the bodies of any fish, turtles, whales, or dolphins they examined.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that the team found plastic not only in seabirds but also in dozens of other species such as fish, turtles, whales, and dolphins, directly contradicting the statement.
Question 3: Plastic has been found in the bodies of turtles.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The text states, 'My team found plastic not only in the bodies of nearly half the seabirds we examined but also in dozens of other species such as fish, turtles, whales and dolphins.'

Explanation: One area of floating rubbish in the north Pacific is already more than twice the size of France.
Question 5: On Midway Island, Action Ecology's team exclusively found plastic contamination in seabirds.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that Action Ecology's team found plastic not only in the bodies of nearly half the seabirds examined but also in dozens of other species such as fish, turtles, whales, and dolphins.
