TOEFL T P O 43 Integrated Writing Task

The main topic of both the passage and the lecture is agnostids' way of finding food. According to the passage, there are three possibilities for how agnostids attained their food. However, the lecturer refutes the passage's opinions citing three reasons which will be illustrated in the following paragraphs.
First of all, the passage declares that agnostids could be predators like other arthropods. In contrast, the lecturer states that hunter animals need some special abilities and organs to help them catch their prays. Other arthropods had large eyes which helped them find their preys and follow them. But, agnostids had tiny eyes or even they were completely blind. Moreover, they lacked any special organ to help them hunt. Therefore, they could not be predators.
Secondly, the passage argues that agnostids could be seafloor dwellers and feed on dead organisms over seafloor. Whereas, the lecturer denies this opinion and claims that seafloor dwellers are usually found in some limited regions and this indicate that they can not move fast. But, agnostids moved very fast and fossils found in differen places attest this fact. Thus, agnostids may not be seafloor dwellers.
Finally, the passage mentions that agnostids could be parasites and feed on larger animals. By contrast, the lecturer points out that the population of parasites should be confined, so they can feed on their host, and have enough food source. But, agnostids have had a large population. Therefore, this theory can not be valid.
