According to the given set of the reading passage, the author draws several hypotheses regarding the "quackers", which heard by Russian submarines during the patrolling the North America and the Arctic Ocean. On the contrary, the lecturer repudiates each of the author's highlighted theories by providing several counter-arguments that are as follows:
First of all, the reading holds the view that the source of these erratic sounds might have produced by the interaction of orca whales, which are dwellers of that area. However, the lecturer finds this reason unconvincing and asserts that the population of these animals are near the surface. On the other hand, Russian submarines are in profound areas of the ocean and as a result, they were not able to hear their sounds.
Secondly, although the lecturer points out that the sounds of massive squids, which are inhabitants of ocean in deep area and forage on large fish, can be another source of these peculiar sounds, the lecturer refutes this reason too by saying that Russian submarines patrolled in 1960 and reported the occurrence of these sound virtually after 2 decades. On the other hand, these animals are living in the same ocean right now. So, the squids cannot be responsible for this phenomenon.
As the last point to emphasize the reading claim, the author designates that it was possible that the origin of these sounds forms from the secret submarines, developed by other countries military technology. Yet again, the lecturer states on the opposite side of this theory and contradicts that the sounds can alter their direction. But, there is no technology yet to fabricate a high-speed submarine to produce altering sounds. In addition, most submarines engines make special sounds, which do not exist in "quackers". Thus, this theory cannot support this claim as well.
