Question

fringe means :
an ornamental border of short lengths of hanging threads
a narrow pass, especially one through mountains
a medical instrument used to inject fluids
a holy place where sacred objects are kept

Explanation:

The word "fringe" has multiple meanings. One common meaning is related to decoration. An ornamental border of short lengths of hanging threads is a typical definition of "fringe". For example, a shawl with a fringe (hanging threads at the edge) is a common sight. The other options:

• "a narrow pass, especially one through mountains" is more related to a "defile" or a "pass" term rather than "fringe".
• "a medical instrument used to inject fluids" is a syringe or an injector, not a fringe.
• "a holy place where sacred objects are kept" is an altar or a shrine, not a fringe.

Answer:

an ornamental border of short lengths of hanging threads
