TOEFL T P O 43 - Integrated Writing Task
The reading passage explores different theories of how the extinct creature agnostids, may have lived in the world, and several reasons are provided in support of the argument. Although the statement of the arguments seems convincing and substantiated, the lecturer casts doubt in it for the following reasons.
First, even though the reading passage suggests that food sources of agnostids are from hunting of smaller animals, the lecturer argues that agnostids couldn't be competent predators as they only have tiny and poor-developed eyes. She believes that large and well-developed eyes are crucial for a predator to hunt successfully. Therefore, the lecturer's argument disapproves its counterpart in the reading.
Second, the statement held by the writer claims that agnostids move slowly and as well inhabited in localized tiny geographic areas. Conversely, the speaker refutes the idea by providing a solid reason that agnostids can move easily across large distances. In short, the speaker disagrees with what the reading proposes.
Last but not least, the lecturer acutely identifies the weakness in the reading that agnostids survive largely depend on larger organisms. She convincingly points out that if agnostids are parasites, their populations could not be too large, otherwise they might have killed their hosts. On the contrary, fossil evidence has shown that the agnostids population was very large. As a result, it is unlikely that agnostids are parasites.
In conclusion, based on the evidence provided above, it can be clearly seen that stances on both sides are paradoxical. Although the contents in the reading passage seem plausible, the speaker disapproves them by solid reasons.
