TPO-43 - Integrated Writing Task Agnostids were a group of marine animals that became extinct about 450 million years ago. Agnostid fossils can be found in rocks in many areas around the world. From the fossil remains, we know that agnostids were primitiv

The passage and lecture both discuss three hypotheses around the way that a group of marine animals, which are called Agnostid, behave and feed. The reading claims that these animals were primitive anthropods-relatives of modern insects. In contrast, the professor explains that the justifications of reading are not convincing, and she refutes each of the author's reasons.

Firstly, the text indicates that they may have belonged to a group of predators hunting smaller animals. However, the professor refutes this and says that all anthropoids have large and well-developed eyes because vision is one of the most important factors for hunting. But, Agnostics had such a tiny and poorly-developed eyes that if they wanted to chase any prey, they might have used other organisms to help them although there is no solid evidence for this claim.

Secondly, the passage puts out that these animals house in seafloors. On the other hand, the speaker mentions that Agnostics inhabit in different areas which means moving from one place to another very fast. This is in direct contrast with animals that live on seafloors because they usually do not have this kind of ability and live in small geographic areas.

Thirdly, the reading points that these animal are parasite and feed from larger organisms. In contrast, the lecturer denies this and talks that parasites live in certain limits and their population is not very large. otherwise, they will kill their host. So, their large population convince us to rule out this claim.

In conclusion, based on reasons and analysis given by the professor, Agnostics are not like free-swimming predators hunting smaller animals or dwell on seafloors or parasites that live on larger organisms.
