What is Recycling?

• A. Convert waste into reusable material.
• B. The material your plant grows in.
• C. The process of inspecting eggs.
• D. The level below which the ground is saturated with water

Answer: (A)

Recycling means turning waste into reusable material. It involves collecting, sorting, and processing discarded items so they can be remade into new products, reducing the need for virgin materials and saving energy. In real-world use, this includes things like reclaiming cardboard, plastics, metal, and glass, or reusing organic waste in a beneficial way.

The other descriptions refer to things that aren’t about turning waste into new materials: a growing medium for plants, the process of inspecting eggs, and the groundwater level. None of these define recycling, so the description that focuses on converting waste into reusable material is the one that fits.
